🚨 When Global Chaos Hits Your Boardroom

How Smart Leaders Are Responding

Allied Universal’s latest World Security Report validates much of what we’ve been saying: leaders who act decisively on security intelligence protect their organisations and strengthen resilience.


📊 Key Threat Insights

  • 44% of leaders put economic uncertainty at the top of their concerns.

  • 4 in 10 security professionals now link misinformation and radicalisation to insider threats.

  • 97% of institutional investors say executive protection is essential.

  • Security incidents reduce company value by 32% on average.


🔎 Shifting Threat Patterns

Misinformation isn’t just an irritation—it’s fuelling insider risks. The smartest organisations are integrating behavioural monitoring with digital intelligence to stay ahead.

👉 At Defuse Global, we’re helping clients combine traditional behavioural indicators with online engagement analysis, creating a 360-degree picture of risk.


🛡️ Executive Protection: From Cost to Strategy

Executives now account for at least 30% of company value. Protection is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s a business necessity.

Forward-looking organisations are adopting predictive, behaviour-based security models—far more effective than reactive measures.


💡 Intelligence as Competitive Advantage

Three-quarters of companies are grappling with misinformation. The winners are those using advanced monitoring to anticipate crises, manage reputations, and protect assets.

  • People remain central (87% agree).

  • Technology enhances, not replaces, human judgment.


📈 The Business Case

  • Average financial loss per incident: £7.1 million.

  • Institutional investors see security failures slashing value by nearly a third.

For family offices and UHNW clients, professional threat management is measurable risk protection—not a cost, but an investment.


🚀 Strategic Opportunities Ahead

Traditional reactive models are fading. Intelligence-driven, behaviour-focused strategies are the new standard. Families, boards, and executives who adopt these approaches aren’t just surviving—they’re thriving.

👉 The real question: are you ready to act on intelligence before threats escalate?
