If you represent such a business or organisation here at <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a>, we can help. We\u2019re experts at meeting a wide variety of physical security challenges because we understand security itself so well. In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll try to peer forward and examine the threat landscape for 2017. Of course, we can\u2019t predict the future with 100% accuracy, but we can look at existing political, economic and national trends and extrapolate the types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/hotel-security\/\" title=\"The challenging world of hotel security\">security challenges<\/a> they might pose.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Politics<\/h2>\n<p>Around the world, the political landscape has become increasingly polarised. Here in Britain, the decision to leave the EU split the nation in two. The result of the referendum has widely been interpreted as a swing towards a more right-wing national position. Moreover, the closeness of the vote and the lack of unanimity in the outcome have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/winter-olympics-security\/\" title=\"Tensions create Winter Olympics Security headaches\">created tensions<\/a> between the right and left wings of the nation\u2019s political spectrum. Meanwhile, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/mesh-fencing-middle-east\/\" title=\"Miles of mesh in Middle East desert\">Middle East<\/a>, the war in Syria has created two distinct and seemingly irreconcilable groups: those who supported the regime and rebelled against it. What\u2019s more, the pressures of the conflict forced many disaffected refugees and migrants out of the country.<\/p>\n<p>In America, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/election-comment\/\" title=\"BBC descends on Zaun for Election comment\">election<\/a> of Donald Trump has dramatically polarised the conservative and liberal branches of the nation. We could go on listing examples of this phenomenon all day. But what does it mean for you? Sadly, polarisation often leads to politically motivated violence. If your business or organisation has any known political affiliations or sympathies, it is more likely to be targeted for attack in 2017 than in previous years. We would therefore recommend that you fortify your premises and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence-for-your-site\/\" title=\"Choosing the right fence for your site\">site with security fencing<\/a> and other measures. Historically, Britain is less prone to politically motivated criminality than other countries, but there\u2019s no reason to take any unnecessary risks.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Economics<\/h2>\n<p>The political crises alluded to in point one have also created economic uncertainty in many countries, including Britain. Economic anxiety and perceived financial desperation can lead to criminality. People who already feel financially unprotected are more likely to resort to crime in times of heightened economic uncertainty. If you keep anything of value on your site or in your premises when unattended, you may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/university-security-needs-taken-seriously\/\" title=\"Why university security needs to be taken seriously\">need additional security<\/a> measures for 2017. You may wish to augment your perimeter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence-topping\/\" title=\"The right fence topping for the right sector\">fencing with fence toppings<\/a> and CCTV, for example.<\/p>\n<p>By looking at the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/clocking-miles-global-security\/\" title=\"Clocking the miles for global security\">global<\/a> political and economic situation, we can say that 2017\u2019s threat landscape will include both politically motivated violence (from all parts of the political spectrum) and traditional criminality from some individuals suffering from financial desperation and uncertainty. However, there\u2019s no need to panic.
