How CEOs are beefing up security after murder of UnitedHealthcare boss
The shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson has shaken corporate America. While companies spend millions protecting executives at work, security expert Matt Peters highlights a critical gap: “It’s very, very easy to figure out where a person lives,” he said. “It can literally be done in minutes. And a lot of executives feel relaxed at home. A lot of people have alarm systems. They don’t use it. So, you really want to look at security in and around the residence, because often there’s not [the same security] measures enacted that there are in the office.”
