This in-person presentation examined the evolving threat landscape for U.S. businesses operating in Mexico following the recent designation of Mexican drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). Attendees gained insight into how this policy shift heightens risk exposure, including targeted violence, extortion, insider threats, and supply chain disruption.
The session outlined practical strategies to strengthen organizational resilience, including enhancing on-site security measures, improving employee screening processes, revising travel protocols, and developing robust crisis response plans. Participants left better equipped to anticipate emerging risks, protect personnel, and maintain business continuity in an increasingly volatile operating environment.
