Anti-corporate activism, bullying individuals, and embarrassing brands and institutions are growing concerns.  Every day large public companies, high-profile products, noteworthy spokespersons, and celebrities are big targets. Contention, personal attacks, and cyber pressure also occurs very locally aimed at non-public figures and organizations. These daily attacks come from unsatisfied customers, disgruntled current and former employees, competitors, stock manipulators, class action attorneys, extortionists, activists, and others seeking to cause reputational damage and pressure, anger, humiliation, or to simply embarrass their targets.  Managing and estimating the potential threats from the blogosphere, bullysphere, cybersphere, and the costs of personal, psychological, and reputational damage are an increasingly dominant future management, communications, and security problem.
 
Investment bank Goldman Sachs' CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, acknowledged and commented in the company's 2009 Annual Report, for the first time, on the risk to its operations reputation and viability from aggressive, relentless, contentious, negative visibility. Failing to detect, prevent, deter, preempt, or deal with virulent negative situations can have very serious consequences.

  • Tactics to remove something from a message board if it is especially offensive

  • The patterns and common tactics of on-line activists and key strategies to counteract them
  • Readiness strategies to detect, deter, respond, preempt, or prevent the most common types of cyberattack

  • How to evaluate and assess the probable damage being afflicted
 
Who Should Attend?
