Over the past decade, we’ve watched drone risk grow faster than most security programs can keep up. Last week’s FAA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking under Section 2209 signals a substantial shift in the regulatory environment. Critical infrastructure must demonstrate their risk to access airspace protections. In our latest newsletter, we break down the following: ◼️ Why UAS risk is accelerating ◼️ The current regulatory and funding landscape ◼️ Why assessments must come before technology ◼️ The value of risk intelligence Read more in our latest PF Pulse. #UAS #Drones #Security #CriticalInfrastructure #Risk #Resilience

UAS threats to critical infrastructure are growing in frequency, sophistication, and consequence—and most organizations have no structured way to measure their exposure. Meet ARIA, the Aerial Risk and Infrastructure Assessment. ARIA is a hands-on, site-specific UAS risk assessment built for critical infrastructure owners and operators. Grounded in more than a decade of UAS expertise, ARIA gives organizations the clear, defensible risk intelligence needed to make smart security decisions and prioritize mitigation investments. If you’re responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, let’s talk. We are ready to discuss your site’s specific risk profile and demo ARIA. Learn more at the link in the first comment or reach out directly to discuss your site.

What does it take to build a truly resilient world? We spent part of this week finding out at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s 2026 Building Resilience Conference. Across sessions with emergency management, nonprofit, and government leaders, three ideas stood out: 💡 Risk assessments drive smarter pre-disaster investment and preparedness decisions 💡 AI is being used as a continuity tool in critical infrastructure 💡 Public-Private partnerships are needed for effective post-disaster rebuilding We are proud to be at the forefront of risk and resilience practices, including our suite of risk assessment tools for facilities, organizations, and local communities. These events remind us why our work matters. Thank you to all the incredible speakers, practitioners, and partners who shared their experience. We are ready to support this mission together. #Resilience #DisasterPreparedness #EmergencyManagement #HomelandSecurity #Risk #Partnerships

Ten years ago, Partner Forces was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that the quality of our partnerships makes all the difference. Last month, our team came together to build a Wall of Our Future at Partner Forces HQ, with each of us contributing a single word that captures our hope, vision, inspiration for what comes next. The result? A unique display that embodies who we are and where we're headed: One wall. One team. A decade of partnership—and we’re just getting started! We work every day to solve for the greater good and tackle big challenges. These words remind us why our work, our team, our partnerships, and our clients matter. Here's to the next ten! #PF10YearsStrong #Partnership #Team #Culture #Impact
