It is a fact that terrorism has been woven into the fabric of the American experience, and like crime, or war itself, it never truly ends, nor can it “be won.” We must learn to manage threats and prepare as best we can. For this, we look to our nation’s most trusted experts, such as Ambassador Daniel Benjamin to educate and assure us. After all, what is the benefit of focusing on your bottom line if you are oblivious to its newest top threats?
While business trends may be your forte, how versed are you on terror trends, like the current campaign of data-breaches in which no company is safe, regardless of its size or security measures? You also need to be prepared as a college student, stepping out into an uncertain world. How are today and tomorrow’s perils going to affect your life and life plan? We are also all-to-aware of how terrorism can affect our communities, remembering how the fear after 9/11 gripped the country, then trickled down to even the smallest of towns.
Fortunately, solutions and effective means of prevention are not just for intelligence insiders anymore, because in Ambassador Daniel Benjamin’s presentations, he gives the inside scoop on how to shore-up defenses on cyber terrorism and recognize upcoming data breaches and future threats to companies, college students entering the work force and security-minded technology firms, alike. Ambassador Benjamin is a world leading expert on how to solve all the complex problems and threats facing you that you never even knew about, and probably won’t until it’s too late. Benjamin, who served as Ambassador-at-Large and Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the U.S. State Department, has become the go-to expert in assessing the complex terrorism trends our world faces, and is now the must-see speaker for businesses and colleges wishing to benefit from insider information.
Currently the Director of The Dickey Center at Dartmouth College, Benjamin recently interviewed Hillary Rodham Clinton, former secretary of state, first lady, and 2016 Democratic nominee for president, at the 2019 Obenshain Family Great Issues Lecture, an annual event for international understanding and to meet with students of foreign policy. He gives audiences the cold, hard truth about what’s out there and where things are headed, so you can proactively protect yourself and your personal interests. Benjamin is also the president of The American Academy in Berlin, which is an independent, nonpartisan, privately funded institution dedicated to sustaining and enhancing the long-term intellectual, cultural, and political ties between the United States and Germany.
Benjamin has written, spoken and prevented terrorism on the international stage as the longest serving Coordinator for Counterterrorism in the U.S., and was the principle advisor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on counterterrorism. He also led the effort to create the Global Counterterrorism Forum which now adapts his ideas into the international architecture to deal with 21st century threats.
Benjamin has written extensively on US foreign policy, terrorism, and international affairs. He is co-author of The Age of Sacred Terror (2002), which was awarded the Arthur Ross Prize of the Council on Foreign Relations and named a 2002 New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post Best Book. He also co-authored The Next Attack: The Failure of the War on Terror and a Strategy for Getting It Right (2005), a Washington Post and Financial Times Best Book of the Year and a finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize. His essays have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, New York Review of Books, Politico, and many other publications.
Ambassador Daniel Benjamin is an in-demand expert among many television and radio programs, including 60 Minutes, Frontline, The News Hour, All Things Considered, The Today Show, Good Morning America and The Oprah Winfrey Show. He offers an inside look into the most impactful trends, threats and risks today, (many of which you may not even know exist), ensuring the safety and longevity of any organization with his eye-opening engagements, exclusively through APB.
