For decades, organizations have leaned on traditional outsourced security models like uniformed officers, integrators, and legacy third-party vendors. But the world they were built for no longer exists.
Cyber-physical convergence, foreign-owned suppliers, rapid threat evolution, and regulatory pressure are rewriting the rules in real time. Executives are asking harder questions, stakeholders expect transparency and resilience, and boards can no longer afford assumptions about “business as usual.”
Our new white paper, “Outsourced, Exposed, and Out of Time: How Physical Security Is Failing Executives”, examines how legacy approaches are falling behind, and where forward-thinking leaders are already moving.
Inside the report:
- The growing risk of blind trust in traditional outsourced security models
- The hidden supply-chain vulnerabilities few executives are being briefed on
- Why foreign-owned vendors matter more than ever
- Emerging regulatory and governance pressures shaping security strategy
- The shift from guard force management to intelligence-driven executive protection
- How leading organizations are modernizing security leadership and oversight
This isn’t a hypothetical future. It’s happening now. Executives and boards who adapt early will gain a competitive, operational, and reputational advantage. Those who don’t will inherit risks they never saw coming.
