Following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, Assist Security Group (ASG) has identified an unprecedented shift in threats facing corporate leaders. The incident has raised serious concerns about executive safety, particularly across healthcare, legal practices, and fossil fuel sectors.
Intelligence analysis reveals a pattern of premeditated targeting, evidenced by shell casings inscribed with “deny, defend, depose” found at the crime scene. The subsequent appearance of threatening materials near the New York Stock Exchange signals an escalating risk environment requiring immediate attention.
“We’re witnessing a change in the security landscape,” states Troy Hewitt, CEO of ASG. “While many organisations still rely on traditional security measures, our intelligence shows that threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated. An integrated approach, combining elite close protection with real-time intelligence gathering, can enable us to identify and neutralise risks before they materialise.”
ASG’s comprehensive security framework draws on expertise from former military and law enforcement specialists, providing tailored protection strategies that adapt to emerging threats. The company’s professional analysis helps identify potential risks to executive safety across multiple sectors.
Recent evidence suggests increased targeting of executive routines and vulnerabilities. ASG’s proactive methods include detailed threat assessments, journey management, and continuous security monitoring. This intelligence-led approach has proven crucial for organisations requiring enhanced protection.
The company’s close protection teams undergo intensive scenario-based training designed to counter current threats to corporate executives. This training, combined with ASG’s in-house intelligence capabilities, enables rapid threat assessment and response across multiple jurisdictions.
“The Thompson assassination demonstrates how quickly security threats can escalate,” adds Hewitt. “Our integrated security framework ensures clients benefit from both immediate protection and strategic intelligence, essential in today’s volatile environment.”
