Terrorism is not a static threat—it’s evolving in complexity and reach, demanding new ways of thinking and acting to counter it. Staying ahead means knowing what to look for and equipping the intelligence and security community with the insights needed to act decisively in an unpredictable world.

In this third installment of the All-Source miniseries, we’re bringing together two leading voices on counterterrorism: Russ Travers, Retired Senior Intelligence Executive and National Security Official, and Jason Lee, Industry Practice Lead at Moody’s. Together, they’ll help us dig into some of the most pressing questions shaping today’s global security environment:

• How has terrorism evolved over the decades, and what does this reveal about the future of global security?
• What distinguishes foreign terrorism from domestic terrorism, and how do these differences shape the way we approach prevention and response?
• Should drug trafficking organizations be classified as terrorist groups?
• Where do terrorist groups operate in less obvious spaces, and what can uncovering these hidden networks teach us about their strategies and vulnerabilities?
• In an age of overwhelming data, how can intelligence agencies separate actionable insights from noise to stay one step ahead of emerging threats?
• What advanced tools and capabilities should counterintelligence teams possess to effectively dismantle complex, adaptive networks of terrorism?
