A Session with Anja Shortland – Inside the Extortion Business: Facilitating The Trickiest Trades In The World
Drawing on real-world cases, Professor Shortland will explore the resurgence of Somali piracy, kidnappings in the Gulf of Guinea and ransomware attacks affecting global businesses. She will take us inside the complex ecosystem of insurers, negotiators and crisis response specialists who facilitate resolutions, examining how organisations navigate the challenges of trust, risk and resilience when dealing with criminal actors.
As geopolitical tensions continue to evolve, understanding these challenges has never been more relevant for maritime professionals.
