Abstract/Description

In the evolving world of executive protection (EP), the days of focusing solely on physical security are over.

This growing workload is pushing teams to rethink traditional approaches, and one question now stands at the forefront of that discussion: Should executive protection teams begin outsourcing advance operations to specialized agencies or companies?
