Heightened Global Conflict: Implications for U.S. Preparedness and Homeland Security

Foreign conflicts can significantly influence U.S. homeland security by heightening the threat of violent extremism, cyberattacks, and state-sponsored terrorism, as adversaries may target the U.S. in retaliation or to exploit perceived vulnerabilities. Such conflicts can also shift national priorities, focusing policy attention and finite resources on external threats.

This webinar with national security experts discusses how conflicts abroad can impact U.S. capabilities and readiness here at home and the Nation’s ability to respond to domestic threats and emergencies.
