Because terrorists' tactics are constantly evolving, one can anticipate that they will rely on a wide variety of disruptive and deadly acts in the years ahead. Planners must therefore be prepared for all conceivable terror threats. Recent history suggests that disruptive terrorist events, even at some distance from a company's facility, may disrupt routine operations or put personnel and business at risk. Business continuity planners must therefore anticipate and prepare for the potentially significant disruption due to a terrorist attack. The challenge for planners is that the tactics and methods of terrorists are constantly evolving. As the security infrastructure adapts to reduce vulnerability to attack by bombing, one can anticipate that terrorists will turn to alternative and creative methods of terror.
