Jetty Partners CEO and Founding Principal Jordan Arnold recently participated as a panelist for a webinar hosted by the Private Risk Management Association (PRMA) examining today’s kidnap, ransom, and cyber extortion risks affecting families and family offices.
The discussion explored the role of due diligence in reducing risk, preparing for the critical first 24 hours following a cyber or physical security incident, the value of pre-travel intelligence, and the importance of recognizing early warning signs that someone may be being targeted. Panelists emphasized that thoughtful preparation and informed decision-making before an incident occurs can significantly improve outcomes and, in some cases, help prevent an incident altogether.
Effective risk management begins well before a crisis. Combining intelligence, preparation, and practical guidance can help families and family offices reduce exposure, recognize emerging threats, and respond more effectively when an incident occurs.
