In response to the fatal shooting of executive Brian Thompson in December, UnitedHealth Group reported a nearly $1.7 million expenditure on security for its top executives in 2024. Additionally, the company provided over $200,000 for family members' security. The increase in spending marks a shift in how companies evaluate threats toward executives, with other healthcare firms like Johnson & Johnson also increasing their security budgets. This incident has led to a broader concern within the industry, prompting actions such as removing executives' images from websites and enhancing security measures at conferences.
