The threats facing an executive vary widely depending on the size of the company, the industry it belongs to and the individual executive's profile. Executive Secutiry organizations in oft-targeted sectors such as the financial services, pharmaceutical and energy industries, and those with executives based overseas, worry about kidnapping, carjacking, mail-borne explosives, biological agents and ecoterrorism.
A top executive not only can't be locked down but, unlike a building with a single gate, there are numerous ways for an attacker to get to an executive, including through family members. If there is a lot of information on the corporate website, the protection team needs to educate the marketing and communications staffs about what publicized personal details could put an executive at risk. "It's important to realize that risks are ever-changing," says Martice Berry, President of Elite Executive Protection Services. Executive Security organizations need to establish a baseline level of security for their executives that can be increased when warranted. "Good executive protection professionals understand the threat level and analyze it constantly" adds Berry.
If executive protection is done professionally and correctly, it can afford an executive an extra hour and a half to two hours a day.
