Global Security and Risk Management at GSX 2026
GSX provides a forum for professionals across the security sector to connect, share knowledge, and explore developments affecting organisations around the world. For LRM, attending the event was an opportunity to engage directly with professionals from different markets and strengthen relationships across the international security community.
Ahead of GSX, Ben Suurd also attended Secure Horizons: An Immersive Experience for Senior Security Executives, a GSX pre-CSO Horizons event held on 12 and 13 September.
These engagements provided opportunities for LRM’s leadership team to participate in conversations with fellow security professionals and exchange ideas ahead of and throughout GSX 2026.
LRM Expertise in Integrity Risk and Crisis Management
As part of the GSX programme, Saurabh Srivastava spoke on “Protecting Major Sporting Events Through Integrity Risk and Crisis Management” on 15 September from 11:15 AM to 12:15 PM ET in Room B302-8303.
The session highlighted LRM’s involvement in professional discussions around integrity risk and crisis management, particularly in the context of major sporting events. These areas require organisations to consider risk from multiple perspectives and understand how effective risk and crisis management can support complex events.
Saurabh’s participation also provided an opportunity to share LRM’s perspective with an international audience of security professionals attending GSX.
