What is a Narrative Attack?
A narrative attack is any assertion that can cause harm by shaping perceptions about a person, place, or thing in the information ecosystem. Narrative attacks cause massive financial and reputational harm.
In order to protect their reputational, financial, and operational security, corporations and government agencies must deeply understand this growing threat, which the World Economic Forum has identified as the most severe global risk over the next two years.
Most organizations are unprepared for what is coming.
We engage with hundreds of senior executives from Global 2000 companies and National Security organizations, and this is what they all say:
“Narrative attacks are a new threat vector that we have no visibility into.”
World Economic Forum names narrative attacks as the #1 Global Risk
“An unstable global order characterized by polarizing narratives and insecurity, the worsening impacts of extreme weather and economic uncertainty are causing accelerating risks to propagate,” — Saadia zahidi, managing director, World economic forum.
