"The old model of executive protection centered around a physically imposing bodyguard standing over an executive's shoulder. It succeeded because threats were localized and physical."
"Executives are geotagged, photographed and tracked in real time. Flight-tracking sites, open-source intelligence (OSINT), data mining and public records make privacy nearly impossible."
"No longer rooted to a home computer, threat actors can get minute-to-minute location updates on their smartphones, allowing them to shadow movements and coordinate in real time."
"Boards and executive teams must modernize now, moving beyond a solely reactive bodyguard approach to a comprehensive security infrastructure that layers sophisticated intelligence technology."
The executive protection landscape has drastically changed due to the ease of accessing personal information through technology. CEOs are now more exposed, with real-time tracking and open-source data making privacy nearly impossible. The traditional model of relying solely on physical bodyguards is outdated, as threats have become more sophisticated and pervasive. Organizations must modernize their executive protection strategies to include advanced intelligence technology alongside physical security measures to effectively safeguard executives against contemporary threats.
