PGI Protective Intelligence Brief #1 — Pre-Surveillance Indicators The Missed Warning Layer in Executive Protection Most security incidents are not spontaneous. They evolve through identifiable behavioral stages long before any visible threat appears. In the first installment of PGI’s Protective Intelligence Briefs series, we focus on pre-surveillance — the quiet observation phase where intent [...]
In our last post, we talked about a growing mindset we’re seeing, especially among younger generations, in which meaning, trust, and hope are slowly disappearing. That mindset has a name, nihilism, but more importantly, it explains a lot of the behavior we keep reacting to. Now let’s talk about the harder part. How this shift [...]
Nihilism (NY-uh-liz-um) A light bulb went on for me this week. One of those moments where something you’ve been watching unfold for years suddenly connects the dots.

There’s a quiet pattern in the corporate world that rarely makes headlines—but it’s costing companies far more than they realize. Chief Global Security Officers (CGSOs) don’t tend to stick around. Not because they’re ineffective. Not because they aren’t needed. However, many companies are unsure how to handle them once the urgency subsides. Too often, [...]
When high-stakes events bring together C-suite executives, industry thought leaders, and major brand stakeholders, the visible agenda is only part of the picture.
