We are thrilled to share that our Founder, Mark Schreiber, had an incredible experience representing our team at this year’s OSAC Annual Briefing held at Amazon's HQ2 in Arlington, VA, on November 20 and 21! This prestigious event serves as a cornerstone for security collaboration, uniting thousands of U.S. Department of State (DSS) and private-sector security representatives under one roof. 
 
The overarching mission of OSAC is to foster security cooperation between the U.S. private sector and the DSS by building a global network of security professionals committed to exchanging timely information and sharing best practices. This year, the event attracted over 12,000 attendees from more than 6,000 organizations, all dedicated to mitigating risks to U.S. interests worldwide. 

Schreiber had the opportunity at this year’s briefing to engage with other leaders in the security field, exchanging insights and strategies that will help bolster safety and preparedness across various industries. The collaborative environment encouraged discussions about emerging threats and innovative solutions, underscoring the importance of proactive risk management in today’s complex landscape. 

This year’s briefing covered numerous topics such as... 

+ The State of OSAC

+ Threats and Cybersecurity  

+ Mental Health in The Security Industry  

+ Crisis Communications  

+ Employee Hostage Situations 

+ Global Maritime Security Challenges  

The briefing also included numerous networking opportunities, breakout sessions, and many more opportunities for growth and insights.  

Afterward, Schreiber followed up with our team stating, “This year’s OSAC Annual Briefing was extremely well attended with a very large number of influential organizations, and it was great to participate in risk discussions with so many leaders to keep us engaged on emerging risks and geopolitical changes for multi-national organizations.”.  

Stay tuned for more updates as we begin to integrate the insights from this exceptional experience into our ongoing efforts! We also look forward to utilizing the information gained from this year’s conference when serving our clients as their trusted advisor.
