Key Global Concerns
GSAT - Why It Matters
Infrastructure is now a primary target. Energy grids, transport corridors, and telecommunications are treated as legitimate pressure points across multiple theaters. Dependency equals exposure.
Economic policy has become a coercion tool. Tariffs, sanctions, and supply restrictions are deployed as strategic leverage. Market access is a political variable, not a commercial constant.
Governance voids are expanding and entrenched. Mass kidnappings in Nigeria, institutional collapse in Haiti, and jihadist expansion in the Sahel aren't temporary—they're structural. Static security models fail in these environments.
Implication: Second-order effects will reach you even outside primary conflict zones. Plan for disruption, not continuity.
