Executives face elevated personal risk due to their prominence, wealth, reputation, travel destinations or other factors. Effective executive protection requires continual assessment of risks, threats and vulnerabilities facing the principal, their organization, and, in some cases, the principal’s spouse or immediate family.
Signal offers a vital solution for security professionals helping create effective and customized protection programs, with hyper-relevant information gathered in real-time.
Open Source Intelligence and Executive Protection
Data Protection
As a security professional, it is vital to know if and when there is a data breach pertaining to an executive or VIP so that the threat can be quickly addressed.
mitigate travel risks
All travel comes with some risk. However, it is more pronounced for executives and other high profile individuals. Additionally, events like extreme weather or terrorist action may make a destination unsafe.
Identify physical threats
Sometimes threat actors are more direct. For example, a threat of violence through a messaging service, social media forum, or through the dark web.
Prevent misinformation Spread
When an individual spreads misinformation around a CEO or other executive there are real ramifications for brand and reputation which need to be managed.
