2023 Business Security Landscape in review
A review of security concerns and trends in Europe.
Security landscape in review
“There is no little enemy” as the French proverb says, meaning it’s wise to recognize any potential threat, however distant or insignificant it might seem. In 2023, it’s something that businesses across Europe have felt keenly. In this review we draw on data from our Risk Intelligence Center (RIC) to summarize the ten macro threats during 2023. We then use analysis of risk assessment data to look at the five day-to-day threats keeping business owners awake at night. The report also explores how physical and smart security solutions – including digital CCTV camera networks, remote monitoring, and analytics – are evolving to provide businesses a new era of comprehensive, efficient protection.
