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.
