March 4, 2026Cory Harris, Editor

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—Stratoscope Holdings is formalizing what its leaders say has been missing from the executive protection (EP) market: a strategy-first, vertically integrated program that complements a client’s lifestyle, while quietly scaling to shifting risks.  With the recent launch of Stratos Executive Protection (Stratos EP), Founder and Managing Partner Dan Donovan and Head of Business Development Joe Bongino argue that today’s lone-actor threats...

Show, don’t tell

July 23, 2025Ken Showers, Managing Editor

Let me just say that in these fraught and uncertain times, I am absolutely thrilled to write a security blog discussing two chuckle heads caught on kiss cam. Yes, you really can’t escape it this week, the workplace drama is strong! And I think everyone was happy for some distraction. If nothing else the shock and realization on the faces of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot as they were caught in elicit embrace at a Coldplay concert will give me a warm little...

July 14, 2025Ken Showers, Managing Editor

YARMOUTH, Maine — Spending on executive protection services is surging in the United States, driven by a rise in politically motivated violence, most recently in Minnesota.  The shootings in Minnesota in June, which resulted in the deaths of a state representative and her husband, follow the assassination of a UnitedHealthcare CEO in 2024.  In response, companies have significantly increased their investment in executive security.

Hanging by a thread

December 11, 2024SSN Staff

To paraphrase a popular children’s cartoon of the past few decades, “If I had a nickel for every time I discussed an assassination on this blog, I’d have two nickels.
