THE BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT
The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) released its Annual Threat Assessment for 2024 this past week, focusing “on the most direct, serious threats to the United States primarily during the next year.” We gave it a review and think it is a very insightful document rife with implications all businesses should seriously consider.
That said, in this day of information overload, the document is 41 pages cover to cover and as an old boss would say, “it’s only a lot of reading if you do it.” So what we have done below is help capture key points from this year’s assessment in the section labeled Key Takeaways. We have also included a version of the assessment with sections we have highlighted and noted with *** to draw your attention if one wants to breeze through the document and see what we thought was important in under ten minutes.
