Rethinking Executive Protection

As executive visibility grows, so does the risk that follows them. In a new interview, Peter Connolly, founder and CEO of Toro Solutions, explains why traditional executive protection no longer fits the world leaders operate in today. With major tech firms spending more than $45 million last year on safeguarding their top executives, the threat landscape has clearly shifted from office perimeters to every corner of an executive’s public and private life.Connolly outlines how personal digital footprints, family social media posts, unsecured home networks, and international travel now create a web of vulnerabilities that attackers can easily exploit. “Executives aren’t just corporate figures anymore,” he says. “They’re symbols and they’re being targeted accordingly.”Read the full interview to explore how converged security, cultural awareness, and intelligence-led protection are redefining what it means to keep leaders safe in a borderless, AI-accelerated threat environment.
