What Are Geo-Poli-Cyber™ (GPC™) Threats & Risks?

 

MLi Group created the terms Poli-Cyber™ and Geo-Poli-Cyber™ (GPC™) in 2012 based on the philosophy that if you cannot identify and name the threat, you cannot mitigate that threat.

Geo-Poli-Cyber™ attacks are political, ideological, terrorist, extremist, ‘religious’, and/or geo-politically motivated.

 

More Sinister Than Financial Motivations

Geo-Poli-Cyber™ attacks are significantly different from financially motivated cyber-attacks in damage, scale, magnitude as well as in risk mitigation strategies and solutions. 

GPC attacks can have dire direct & indirect impact on the nation state, organizations and their stakeholders.  This is especially so in their impact on citizens’ lives and livelihoods.

 

GPC™ Motivations & Mitigation Strategies & Solutions

MLi Group chairman Mr. Khaled Fattal has been involved in the global infrastructure of the Internet and its security and stability since the mid to late 90’s.

in 2012, led by chairman Fattal, MLi Group embarked on creating the ‘Survivability Strategies™, Solutions and Protocols to mitigate Geo-Poli-Cyber™ risks that go beyond followed strategies and solutions. MLi has continued evolving and improving them ever since.

 

Vindicated Vision & Predictions 

Fattal accurately predicted that cyber security solutions designed to mitigate financially motivated attacks will fail to mitigate GPC motivated ones.

Today, national and corporate resiliency, continuity, and cyber security strategies and solutions keep failing on unprecedented scales in defending and mitigating alike – yet, they continue being followed and relied upon like gospel to the detriment of all stakeholders.

Fattal was also vindicated with his 2012 visionary prediction that GPC attacks will lead to unprecedented and unmitigated events that have become routine occurrences and a fact of today’s daily life.

 

Ransomware often a Decoy to More Sinister GPC™ Motivations

MLi Group has documented specific  incidents where financially motivated ransomware cyber attacks were used as a decoy for more sinister GPC™ motivations. Ask us to address this factor when you submit your request for a confidential private briefing.

 

GPC™ Perpetrators

Some of the Key perpetrators of devastating, debilitating and destructive GPC™ motivated attacks are the new breed of extremist and terrorist groups, lone wolves, and rogue states amongst many others.

Some GPC perpetrators are often directed or sponsored by national security agencies of not only enemies but ‘presumed allies’ who can often cause more damage than adversaries or enemies.

 

GPC™ Perpetrators’ Goals

GPC attacks are often aimed at coercing, altering or damaging the economic fate and/or the political directions of nations and organizations.

 

GPC™ Threat Vector

Today, the world is heavily threatened by this new “GPC™ Threat Vector” and its risks are  escalating exponentially.

 

Corporate & Sovereign Survivability at New Risk

Organizations and governments all over the world that allow themselves to remain seriously unmitigated against GPC attacks are increasing the likelihood of potential catastrophic events being perpetrated on them. Such compromises will not only seriously damage their corporate and national security, but also  ‘Effective, Competitive and Sovereign Survivability.”
