Daniel Mikulsky, DRI International
When the Wright brothers inaugurated manned flight they ushered in a new era of transportation, as well as combat warfare. With today’s commercially developed drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, we embark upon new possibilities in service and support as well as new challenges in physical and cybersecurity protection. The future is here and is rapidly changing around us.
This session will investigate this new technology, and cite examples where drones are already in use to improve effectiveness in Emergency Management and response. Hand in hand with innovative use, adaptation and design of commercially available drones is the need for proactive responsibility for physical and cybersecurity of drones and drone management systems. Business Continuity Professionals can contribute to the dialogue of drones through their unique understanding of risk and control.
