Workplace violence and outsider threats remain a growing concern for organizations across industries. Security teams are expected to identify potential threats, assess risk, and protect employees before an incident occurs.
However, recognizing warning signs early and determining when to escalate concerns can be challenging, especially as threat signals emerge across multiple channels.
 
As organizations face increasing pressure to safeguard their people, security leaders need repeatable processes and effective tools to support threat detection, assessment, and response. From identifying concerning behavior to monitoring potential risks in real time, proactive security programs play a critical role in preventing incidents before they escalate.
 
In this edition of the Liferaft Security Spotlight Session series, Chelsea Rose sits down with Kyle Baker to discuss workplace violence, outsider threats, and how security teams can better identify, assess, and escalate potential threats to protect employees.
