Beyond the Stadium: Navigating the Risk Landscape for Major Events
When millions of fans converge on a city for a major global event, the security challenge extends well beyond the stadium walls. In this webinar, Steve McLeod moderates a conversation with Dataminr's Rob Crowley and Joe Sloeck on how organizations can prepare for the unique and escalating risks that accompany events like the FIFA World Cup and Winter Olympics.The discussion covers the full spectrum of threats — from human trafficking and opportunistic crime to cybersecurity attacks that can manifest as real-world physical disruptions. As event management and ticketing move increasingly onto digital platforms, the line between cyber and physical risk continues to blur, creating new challenges for security teams and event organizers alike.
The speakers share practical guidance on intelligence gathering, proactive planning, and building resilience against disruptions to protect both public safety and operational continuity. The session closes with actionable insights for any organization looking to strengthen its security posture ahead of a major event.
