    The incessant pace of globalization has created huge opportunities for business, as well as huge challenges and risks of doing business. The seminar on Global Security and Enterprise Resilience will explore the security implications of globalization for business and their impact on enterprise continuity, resilience, and competitiveness.

    The purpose of the seminar is to help improve organizational capacity to respond to emergency, catastrophic, and disruptive challenges – whether natural, accidental, or deliberate. It will therefore provide insights into such critical issues as:

    §        Global security, enterprise resilience, and competitiveness
    §        Organizational defenses against security risks arising from terrorism, nuclear, biological, and other hazards
    §        Security implications of engaging with emerging markets
    §        Information and cyber security
    §        Enterprise continuity and resilience
    §        Security awareness, preparedness, data interoperability, and disaster management
    §        Emergency management systems – post-terror disaster recovery, emergency response, and damage control

    Seminar presenters are senior scholars, senior executives, and thought leaders from the University of Maryland and business and government organizations.

    And, seminar co-sponsors are:

    §        U.S. Departments of Commerce and Education, Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, TiE-DC, and World Trade Center Institute

    §        CIBERs at UCLA, University of Connecticut, University of Memphis, University of North Carolina, University of South Carolina, Ohio State University, and Texas A&M University
