In this episode of the Essential Geopolitics podcast from RANE, Emily Donahue Speaks to RANE's Senior Global Security analyst Ben West about recent attacks and unrest in Europe and across the Muslim world. An article published by RANE recently pointed out that the attacks are of a pattern of violence associated with the Mohamed cartoon controversy that has recently flared up due to an ongoing trial in Paris. Attacks in September and early October focused on individuals and symbols directly linked to the cartoons, but the target set expanded as initial attacks spawned more violence, along with apparent retaliation to the initial attacks. In Europe, the return of the cartoon controversy comes amid rising concerns over Islamophobia and associated attacks. Verdicts in the trial that began the latest chapter of the controversy are expected in December, potentially providing motivation for even more attacks.  Individuals and organizations turn to RANE, for risk intelligence that cuts through the hype to focus on what they need to know, what to expect, and what to do.

In this episode of the Essential Geopolitics podcast from RANE, Emily Donahue speaks with RANE's Senior European Analyst, Adriano Bosoni. The EU budget and the coronavirus relief fund include a mechanism to link the disbursement of money to keep a strong rule of law. Hungary and Poland believe this mechanism will target them specifically. The EU has in recent years questioned some domestic policies in both countries, such as reform of the judiciary and pressure on critical media. This has immediate implications: we are talking about a lot of money, money that countries like Italy and Spain need desperately. So, the most obvious implication is that the longer it takes for this money to be released, the slower the economic recovery in Europe. But there are even deeper implications, as Bosoni explains.

This is the first in a new podcast series from RANE Insights, entitled On Security with Brian Lynch. Over the past several years the topic of “insider threats” has been met with varying degrees of concern in the board rooms of most medium to large organizations. While some organizations perceive such risk as minimal in relation to other greater challenges, others allocate significant resources to address these threats without a clear understanding of how and why their trusted employees, contractors, and business associates could undertake an action which could result in serious financial and reputational damages to the firm. Frequently, a significant investment in technology is seen as the silver bullet solution. While enhancing the organization’s ability to monitor and identify potential cases of insider threats, it frequently fails to address the core issues leading insiders to undertake actions which circumvent technological controls, policies, and procedures. As companies have restructured operations to a remote workforce because of the COVID-19 epidemic, these previously unaddressed vulnerabilities are set to grow exponentially. In this podcast, host Brian Lynch interviews Peter Warmka, Founder of Counterintelligence Institute (www.counterintelligence-institute.com). During his 20+ year overseas career as a Senior Intelligence Officer with the CIA, Peter specialized in breaching the security of targeted entities in fulfillment of foreign intelligence collection requirements. Leveraging his years of direct experience in insider targeting and manipulation, his current mission is to assist clients with security awareness training and consultancy services focused on the development of an effective insider threat mitigation program.
