How can protectors get 'left of boom'? Is it even their job to collect pre-incident indicators? This week we are delighted to welcome Rick Shaw, CEO of Awareity to the Circuit Magazine Podcast to ask: Is every Protector a 'Sensor' which should gather pre-event indicator data?Should an EP team incorporate an analyst or should the team leader be that analyst?What does being a 'first preventer' actually mean for an EP operator?How can we interpret and evaluate technology solutions that are designed to aggregate and disseminate mission data? Which parallel case studies in neighbouring security sectors offer valuable insights into executive protection?
