Corporate Security in a Time of Increasing Ideological Violence

The brazen assassination of United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, on the early morning streets of New York city was a wake-up call to corporate executives and the teams that work to keep them safe. The killing has led to soul-searching across corporate America and around the world about what seems to be a marked increase in the permissive attitude towards political and ideological violence in our society. Many now wonder who might be next and what their own vulnerabilities might be.

Join Interfor Academy for the next episode of its webinar series at noon on June 4th to learn from two experts in the space, Mark Sullivan and Don Aviv. The host, Jeremy Hurewitz, Head of Interfor Academy and author of Sell Like a Spy, will discuss with Mark and Don how Mr. Thompson’s assassination has changed the security landscape for executives. We will also be discussing whether advances in protective intelligence will ultimately help or hurt security, how international tensions play a role in security threats, as well as some helpful security tips not only for executives, but everybody.

Key topics we will cover include:

• How the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO changed the security landscape for senior executives.
• What role technology plays in helping to improve security, and how it also might undermine it.
• Whether protective intelligence has become more or less difficult in the age of AI and the proliferation of data aggregators.
• Some general tips on security awareness for everyday life.
