A Venue Stays Still. A Ceremony Does Not.
Security lessons from the Ceremonies and the Olympic Torch of Milano Cortina 2026 A venue has a huge advantage for security: it stays still. We can study it, define its boundaries, organise access, establish routes, position resources and build procedures that work in that specific space. An Olympic Ceremony already complicates this model, and Milano…
When the Olympic Village Has No Single Perimeter
What Milano Cortina 2026 taught me about security design An Olympic Village normally has a perimeter: a complex of buildings, controlled access points, athletes and delegations inside. From a security perspective, the advantage is obvious: it physically separates a protected space from its surroundings. At Milano Cortina 2026, that model could not be applied everywhere.…
Artificial Intelligence Has a Nationality. Risk Shouldn’t. 2
When artificial intelligence enters risk analysis, the problem is not only what we give it. It is how we assess what it gives back. We ask three artificial intelligence systems to analyse the same threat. We get three different assessments. Which one do we use? Not necessarily because one of the three wants to deceive…
Artificial Intelligence Has a Nationality. Risk Shouldn’t.
When we entrust information, analysis and decision-making processes to artificial intelligence, who are we really entrusting control to? Imagine a Security Manager who has to prepare a risk assessment for a major event. There is little time and an artificial intelligence tool that can help. He uploads the floor plan, describes the vulnerabilities identified during…
The Risk That Belongs to No One
When everyone does their job correctly, but no one governs the problem as a whole. Incidents happen. Like rain, they are not entirely within our control: we can anticipate them, reduce their effects, prepare for them, but we cannot decide that they will never occur. What does depend on us is something else: knowing who…
By the time the crowd arrives, it is already too late
Crowd management begins before the public arrives, with decisions that define spaces, access and routes.
Interpreting data
Data, artificial intelligence and the control room: between a signal and a decision lies the work of interpreting the context.
Compliance is not control
A risk register can be impeccable without helping decision-makers. The role of risk in strategic decisions.
