Beyond the "Lone Wolf" Threat: The Dangers of Grassroots Terror Cells for Corporations and Security Professionals

Beyond the "Lone Wolf" Threat: The Dangers of Grassroots Terror Cells for Corporations and Security Professionals A webinar hosted by Stratfor  |  April 13, 2016  |  12 p.m. CT  Leaderless resistance has long been an important component of the jihadist threat, but this movement has taken on special importance in the post-9/11 era. Of the successful jihadist attacks in North America since 9/11, all have involved grassroots operatives rather than trained terrorist cadre. However, the assumption that the leaderless resistance threat is confined to a singular, “lone wolf” attacker is a dangerous one for professionals who are responsible for the security of one’s employees, operations and overall continuity of an organization or business. The March 22 terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium, are only the most recent incident illustrating that grassroots terror cells are even more dangerous than "lone wolf" actors. Join Stratfor VP of Tactical Analysis Scott Stewart and VP of Intelligence Fred Burton as they discuss how grassroots terrorist cells operate, how and when they are vulnerable, and the methods that can be employed to counter them.
