PANEL 'Looking Forward- Developing and Implementing an Effective Counterterrorism Strategy'

PANEL Looking Forward- Developing and Implementing an Effective Counterterrorism Strategy -In an evolving global landscape, counterterrorism efforts must adapt to the changing nature of threats. This panel brings together leading experts from government, academia, and the military to explore the future of counterterrorism. From the challenges of domestic and international terrorism to the role of intelligence and military operations, the discussion will shed light on how different entities – law enforcement, security forces, international organizations, private sector, and civil society – can work together to create a more effective and sustainable counterterrorism strategy. This continued collaboration is critical today as the global CT community is challenged by resource and human capital constraints, to include reduced military presence, in an era of strategic competition.
