Wealth disparities, under-resourced law enforcement and political upheaval are driving an increase in kidnap ransom and extortion cases globally, with threats constantly evolving. 

Technological developments such as the use of AI to impersonate people has expanded the pool of potential victims for virtual kidnaps.

A kidnapping is traumatic for those involved but can also lead to significant financial losses not only from the ransom, but other associated costs such as business interruption, litigation, adverse publicity and damage to reputation.
