🚨 Resilience Lessons from Aviation for Financial Institutions 🚨 December 2024 was a tough month for aviation, with incidents like the South Korea crash and emergency landings in Norway and Canada. These tragedies remind us of the critical importance of operational resilience—not just in aviation but across industries, including finance. As the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) comes into effect, financial institutions can learn a lot from aviation’s approach: ✈️ Blame-Free Reviews: Post-incident reviews in aviation uncover root causes without pointing fingers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. ✈️ Human-Centric Crisis Management: Understanding human behavior in high-pressure situations is just as important as technical solutions. ✈️ Scenario-Based Learning: Simulations and stress testing build preparedness and confidence to handle disruptions. With cyberattacks on the rise and governments like the Netherlands advising citizens to keep cash at home, the stakes are higher than ever. Financial institutions must integrate DORA into their broader GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) frameworks to stay resilient and safeguard operations in 2025 and beyond. Let’s turn challenges into opportunities. Resilience is the key to not just surviving disruptions but thriving through them. #OperationalResilience #DORA #GRC #RiskManagement #Cybersecurity #FinancialServices #AviationLessons #RegulatoryCompliance #BusinessContinuity #ResilienceMatters #Leadership

Travel Risk in 2025 - what are your priorities for the new year? The coming year will be dominated by the impacts of high-profile geopolitical tensions. However routine security threats remain, which will likely often be exacerbated by grassroots political and economic polarization as well as operational disruption. With the operationally complex demands of running a Travel Risk Management program, most organisations are missing a major opportunity to engage their people. Crisis24 has the resources to help you strengthen your duty of care, even in the most challenging scenarios. #Assess #Enhance #Protect

Our COO Daniel Langlois, CPP, spoke to MSN about the requirements for an effective geopolitical risk analysis for businesses across the United States in 2024. “We’re seeing a huge influx in threat and risk vulnerability assessments,” says Langlois. “Companies should be proactive as opposed to reactive when considering their threat exposure. That’s where our expertise in consultation has its most significant impact. We’re here to discuss your particular environment, whether in the United States or overseas, and your risk profile. It allows us to give a much clearer picture so that mitigation standards and recommendations can be implemented.” https://lnkd.in/dsUuK_-i #CorporateSecurity #securityassessment #securityriskmanagement #riskassessment #threatassessment #threatintelligence

In aviation, risks are rarely isolated. From operational disruptions to security threats, a fragmented approach can leave critical connections overlooked. So how can operators achieve clarity and confidence in their decision-making? Our latest blog takes a closer look at how aviation operators can centralize their risk management efforts to build a unified understanding of potential challenges. Explore how to: ✅ Establish a single source of truth for risk data ✅ Foster collaboration across departments ✅ Use technology to gain real-time insights ✅ Align with industry standards like ISO 31000 🔗 Read the full blog to learn more: https://ow.ly/TJmk50UhXms #AviationSafety #RiskManagement #OperationalExcellence #OspreyFS

Risk mitigation is not a standardised process. There are no one-size-fits-all policies and silver bullets are not to be trusted as a reliable security policy. But there are some basics that everyone can agree on. And on this Day of the Seafarer, safety of crew should be the universal base case from which everything else stems. For reasons political and practical the International Transport Workers’ Federation call to force flags and owners away from transiting in range of Houthi rockets will not be endorsed by the industry organisations who last week called for action. But those same companies today preaching seafarer security who are now routinely sending vessels through the danger zone have a responsibility to set out why they think this represents an acceptable risk.  The message today from UN secretary general António Guterres is entirely correct: attacks on international shipping routes and acts of piracy are unacceptable. Ships and seafarers must not be held hostage and hijacked. Seafarers should not be collateral victims in wider geopolitical conflicts. But saying that, and doing something about it, are two entirely different things. Last week we highlighted Lloyd’s List Intelligence data that clearly showed transit volumes through the Red Sea high-risk areas are no longer fluctuating in response to the growing severity or frequency of attacks. If anything they are growing slightly. The outpouring of gratitude and heartfelt celebration of the unsung heroes of global trade, is of course to be welcomed and encouraged. But the ITF is right - words are no longer enough. You can read our full, slightly potty-mouthed, Day of the Seafarer op-ed here: https://lnkd.in/eKRrJsRm
