Concern about the safety of senior company pioneers has surged, with nearly half (46%) of U.S.-based chief security officers (CSOs) reporting that the threat of violence toward executives has increased in the last two years. The threat increases to 49% for publicly traded companies and soars to 66% for technology companies.
More companies in the technology and pharmaceutical sectors than any other are providing senior pioneers with executive protection, both at 40% (33% U.S. average), as well as providing executives’ families with protection.
