America’s Experts on the Biggest Threats and Challenges Facing the U.S. in 2019

An article in Homeland Security Today references statements and other commentary made by homeland security and law enforcement officials and experts to present a comprehensive overview of the security challenges that will present the greatest threats in 2019. In terms of physical security, the article highlights that U.S. officials believe foreign terrorist organizations still pose a threat, as evidenced by testimony last week by U.S. intelligence community leaders before the Senate Intelligence Community. Given this assessment, many experts have encouraged the public to not be lulled into a sense of complacency despite the relative dearth of FTO activity in the U.S. Additionally, officials and experts warn of the potential for attacks to involve releases of toxic materials and the employment of vehicles as weapons or delivery platforms. The article also addresses threats posed by other hazards, including cyber and natural disasters. Read the article at Homeland Security Today.
