While al-Qaeda remains a diminished but persistent danger, new challenges include state-backed aggression such as cyberattacks and sabotage. McCallum emphasized the need for collaboration among governments, businesses, academia, and the public to address evolving security risks and urged a shared responsibility for national security in a more complex threat environment.
