Recently, the jury in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing found the building owner to be 68% responsible for the attack—while the terrorists involved were considered just 32% responsible!

This ruling sends a strong message to organizations: attacks by terrorists are foreseeable, and organizations that fail to take preventative security measures can be held liable and subject to costly litigation and verdicts.

Could this happen to you?

Most companies believe they should take some anti-terrorism measures. A recent survey showed that 92 percent of business executives believe it is important to invest in terrorism prevention and mitigation.

But only 39 percent of them actually have done so. Why?

Some organizations are confused about how much effort, how many resources, and what size investment they should make towards terrorism prevention. You may be among them.

There are no easy answers, but with the results of a recent IOMA survey of security directors there are now benchmarks to guide you. Join IOMA and two security experts for this 90-minute audio conference and you'll:
