    Last week, I had the privilege of conducting a highly successful Zoom meeting with Mr. John Walsh , a respected leader and expert in the security industry. He is the CEO of SightSpan, Inc a boutique specialized in risk management and security solutions. During our meeting, Mr. John Walsh shared invaluable insights drawn from his extensive global experience in the field. During our discussion, he elaborated on his interactions with clients across various regions, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and specifically Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Mr. John Walsh emphasized the pressing issue of organized crime and detailed the different types of counterterrorism strategies his company employs. He explained how SightSpan, Inc conducts thorough risk assessments and addresses security concerns within the Fintech sector, which is increasingly vital in today’s digital landscape. I am eager to delve deeper into the topics of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) in future meetings with Mr. @Walsh. His wealth of knowledge and expertise is something I greatly value, and I look forward to utilizing this meeting room for our upcoming discussions. Engaging with him will undoubtedly enhance my understanding of global security trends and practices. #zoommeeting #riskmanagement #amlcft #securitysolutions #counterterroris في الأسبوع الماضي، حظيت بشرف إجراء اجتماع ناجح للغاية عبر تطبيق زووم مع السيد جون والش، وهو قائد محترم وخبير في صناعة الأمن. وهو الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Sightspan، وهي شركة مشهورة بحلول إدارة المخاطر والأمن. خلال اجتماعنا، شاركنا السيد والش رؤى لا تقدر بثمن مستمدة من خبرته العالمية الواسعة في هذا المجال. خلال مناقشتنا، تحدث بالتفصيل عن تفاعلاته مع العملاء في مختلف المناطق، بما في ذلك الولايات المتحدة وأوروبا والشرق الأوسط، وبشكل خاص المملكة العربية السعودية والبحرين. وشدد السيد والش على القضية الملحة المتمثلة في الجريمة المنظمة وفصّل الأنواع المختلفة من استراتيجيات مكافحة الإرهاب التي تستخدمها شركته. وأوضح كيف تجري Sightspan تقييمات شاملة للمخاطر وتعالج المخاوف الأمنية داخل قطاع التكنولوجيا المالية، وهو أمر حيوي بشكل متزايد في المشهد الرقمي اليوم. إنني حريصة على الخوض بشكل أعمق في موضوعات مكافحة غسل الأموال ومكافحة تمويل الإرهاب في اجتماعات مستقبلية مع السيد والش. إن ثروته من المعرفة والخبرة هي شيء أقدره بشدة، وأتطلع إلى الاستفادة من غرفة الاجتماعات هذه لمناقشاتنا القادمة. ولا شك أن التواصل معه سيعزز فهمي لاتجاهات وممارسات الأمن العالمية.

    Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Independent Consultant

    During my recent Zoom meeting with Mr. John Walsh , I gained valuable insights into various types of organized crimes, including money laundering and terrorist financing. As the CEO of SightSpan, Inc a company specializing in risk management and security solutions, Mr. John Walsh provided a comprehensive overview of financial crimes and strategies to mitigate them. He emphasized the growing interconnectedness between anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism efforts, highlighting a significant shift in the approach to these issues over the years. Mr. John Walsh also delved into the evolving definition of terrorism, which now encompasses narco-terrorism and other related forms, leading to a broadening of the term's scope. This expansion has, in turn, prompted organized crime units worldwide to adapt and address a wider range of criminal activities, including those associated with terrorism. Furthermore, Mr. Walsh discussed how the perception of terrorism has evolved, leading some organized crime units to reconsider their involvement in these activities. He drew parallels to historical instances, such as the US Mafia's engagement in drug-related crimes during the 1960s and 70s, highlighting the changing dynamics and opportunities within organized crime. #organizedcrime #drugtrafficking #mafia #terrorism #security #antimoneylaundering خلال اجتماعي الأخير عبر تطبيق زووم مع السيد جون والش، اكتسبت رؤى قيمة حول أنواع مختلفة من الجرائم المنظمة، بما في ذلك غسل الأموال وتمويل الإرهاب. بصفته الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Sightspan، وهي شركة متخصصة في إدارة المخاطر وحلول الأمن، قدم السيد والش نظرة عامة شاملة على الجرائم المالية والاستراتيجيات للتخفيف منها. وأكد على الترابط المتزايد بين جهود مكافحة غسل الأموال ومكافحة الإرهاب، مسلطًا الضوء على التحول الكبير في التعامل مع هذه القضايا على مر السنين. كما تطرق السيد والش إلى التعريف المتطور للإرهاب، والذي يشمل الآن الإرهاب المرتبط بالمخدرات وغيره من الأشكال ذات الصلة، مما أدى إلى توسيع نطاق المصطلح. وقد دفع هذا التوسع بدوره وحدات مكافحة الجريمة المنظمة في جميع أنحاء العالم إلى التكيف ومعالجة مجموعة أوسع من الأنشطة الإجرامية، بما في ذلك تلك المرتبطة بالإرهاب. وعلاوة على ذلك، ناقش السيد والش كيف تطور تصور الإرهاب، مما دفع بعض وحدات مكافحة الجريمة المنظمة إلى إعادة النظر في مشاركتها في هذه الأنشطة. وعقد مقارنة بين حالات تاريخية، مثل تورط المافيا الأميركية في جرائم تتعلق بالمخدرات خلال الستينيات والسبعينيات من القرن الماضي، مسلطاً الضوء على الديناميكيات والفرص المتغيرة داخل الجريمة المنظمة.
