Session Title: Emerging Risks in 2026: From Online Signals to Real-World Impact
Featured Speakers:
Chris Sargent -- Director -- Protective Intelligence Center (PIC), Crisis24
Hayden Lambirth -- Manager -- Protective Intelligence Center (PIC), Crisis24
Description: Emerging risk is no longer defined by new threat types—but by the speed, convergence, and amplification of existing ones. In this session, attendees will gain a protective intelligence–driven perspective on how digital signals, reputational narratives, and rapidly evolving events are increasingly driving real-world security incidents.
Drawing on anonymized, real-world examples, this talk explores how online behaviors translate into physical risk, and what security leaders can do to adapt. You’ll leave with practical insights on recognizing early indicators, aligning intelligence with executive protection and investigations, and strengthening decision-making in a fast-moving threat environment.

4th Quarter - 2025
What: Virtual Chapter Meeting
When: Thursday, Dec 4th, 2025 from 11:30am - 12:30pm
Location: Virtual
Speaker: Peter Warmka
Topic: AI: The Problem, Solution, or Both?
Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) has acted like a steroid for fraudsters, helping them conduct a variety of advanced and financially devastating social engineering schemes. Tools like OpenAI are used to collect an abundance of personal information from the social media profiles of targets to identify potential vulnerabilities. FakeGPT enables fraudsters to design elaborate schemes and enhanced narratives using emails, text messages, and fake social media profiles, incorporating manipulative language. Voice and biometric cloning has led to identity theft, resulting in billions of dollars in losses by organizations and individuals. While increased public awareness is essential, various technologies are already in development or available for the detection of AI deepfakes used in communications. Some organizations are already embracing new AI analytical tools to detect, monitor, and prevent fraudsters utilizing AI from targeting their operations.
