BRINK, a new digital news hub that informs global business leaders, policy-makers, and journalists by providing actionable insights and ideas about current and emerging risks, launched today.
BRINK is made possible by Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (NYSE:MMC) and produced in collaboration with Atlantic Media Strategies (a division of The Atlantic magazine). BRINK features original analysis and commentary from trusted risk experts on the increasingly interconnected global issues of risk, growth, and innovation.
“BRINK is a key source of global risk insights and perspectives for senior executives, analysts, policy-makers, and journalists across five core issues: economy, environment, geopolitics, society, and technology. BRINK provides thought-provoking, timely ‘on the news’ articles that can impact business decisions as executives navigate the nuances of current and emerging political, business, and economic issues,” said BRINK Executive Editor Brock N Meeks.
BRINK’s inaugural content includes contributions from security intelligence researcher William Hagestad II on China’s cyber security strategy, former FBI Deputy Director Shawn Henry on proactive cyber security measures for companies, and public health professor Philip Alcabes on border control in the wake of Ebola.
