The Problem

• Today, terrorists, insurgent groups,
  transnational criminal organizations, drug
• cartels, local street gangs and pirates all use
  kidnap and extortion to fund
• their illicit activities or to make political
  statements in areas challenged by
• weakened security environments. When a
  kidnapping, extortion or detention
• incident occurs the costs can extend well beyond
  ransom payments and can
• include litigation, adverse publicity and
  long-term damage to image and
• reputation. There is also a human cost exacted on
  the victims, their families
• and colleagues.

• The global landscape is changing. Terrorism, the
  internationalization of crime, economic
  challenges and political turmoil are now everyday
  concerns. Additionally, globalization is creating
  a smaller world in which frontier and emerging
  markets offer the potential for growth and
  diversification. Developing economies account for
  two-thirds of global economic growth, which is
  creating exciting opportunities but also new
  challenges, including an increasing obligation to
  safeguard businesses, personnel and families
  against unfamiliar, yet prevalent threats.
