| Risk Management and Breaking Down Silos | Andrew Peden | 03 Sep 2023 | 00:45:52 | |
Instead of a single super-security specialist, is the EP firm the home of convergence because as a business any service can be bundled or offered through a partnership? In this edition of the Circuit Magazine podcast, Shaun and Phelim speak with Andrew Peden, the founder and CEO of L5L Solutions, about the importance of breaking down silos within the risk management industry. We delve into the idea of a 'unified protector', and ask whether professionals in the risk protection sphere should operate on a less hierarchical, more peer-level basis to work more efficiently. Andrew underlines the significance of maintaining effective communication channels along hierarchical lines and the need to develop a strategy for achieving professional goals. Other topics covered include:

| Behavioral Analysis – Why Knowing A Little About Human Nature Goes a Long Way | Miranda Coppoolse | 03 Mar 2021 | 00:35:00 | |
Understanding why people do what they do will help us identify threats and prevent incidents, making us better protectors. But understanding why WE do what WE do might be the key to even more significant growth.
This week we're joined by Miranda Coppoolse, a behavioral analyst and self-confessed “human nature freak!” She's here to help us dive into a subject that isn't taught in basic training but could be considered an essential skill for protectors.
Miranda Coppoolse is the Founder and CEO of MC Global Security Consulting. She is a distinguished Behavior Analyst & Trainer, and Security Risk Advisor on various interrelated security topics. Miranda is a true pioneer in this field and is a champion for behavioral data science & analytics, bridging the gap between technology and human behavior.
We chat with Miranda about the following ideas:
· The 'Sesame Street' approach to learning specific behavioral anomalies. · Debunking the idea that behavioral analysis is only for the educated and tapping into our curiosity to unlock gains. · What are behavioral triggers and how we can read the future if we can spot them? · Virtual DNA - how every click you make online is leaving a footprint and building a profile that can be used against you.
Knowing what to do for effective change isn't enough on its own. We need to make new neural pathways by putting these lessons into practice and repeating them.
Think differently, be curious, ask more questions and 'wake up' those around you with the questions you ask!

Are we facing a post-pandemic, nightmare scenario where we've had corporate real estate all across the globe sat empty and unprotected against Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) threats?
In this episode, we're excited to welcome Charles Patterson, a seasoned security expert of 40 years who has operated in the TSCM space for the last 25 years. Over the course of his long career, Charles has provided executive protection and technical support from the inside to security teams throughout the United States and the globe.
We chat with Charles about the following questions: · In a highly connected, Internet of Things (IoT) world, what are the new challenges for the executive protection agent? · What are the simple things we're not doing that exposes gaps in our Principals’ protection? · As hardware and devices get cheaper and more sophisticated, how can today’s EP/CP safeguard against emerging technical threats? · And, if you're looking to get into TSCM or just want to improve your working knowledge, where and how can one get started?
Undoubtedly, as corporate clients and HNWs begin travelling again we’ll face unprecedented technical threats. In response, we need to level up our skills collectively. But we also need to know when to bring in the big guns and who to turn to.

| Executive Protection and the Family Office | Kate Bright | 17 Feb 2021 | 00:30:05 | |
Today we welcome, Kate Bright, who started out as PA in a family office and has gone on to have a very successful career in the close protection industry.
Because the family office is often seen as a hurdle between protectors and a well-executed task, Kate made it a mission to understand both sides of the equation. Already being familiar with the workings of a family office, she decided to embark on a journey to understand the unique role protectors provide.
Now 20 years later, Kate has consulted on private security matters for HNW clients and has created a successful business that bridges both aspects, including setting up her award-winning recruitment and concierge firm, UMBRA International Group. She is also currently an advisor to the SIA board.
In this episode, we discuss: · Kate's journey from PA to CP and what she learned along the way that can benefit all protectors. · Strategies for more effective interfacing with the family office. · How we can benefit by understanding the different types of family offices and their particular dynamics. · The effects of COVID and the unexpected opportunities it's created.

| The Future of Tactical Communications | Andy Clark | 03 Feb 2021 | 00:30:10 | |
Tactical Communications is arguably one of the most overlooked and under-appreciated disciplines in modern executive protection. There's little coverage of it in an operator's initial training and it does not fare much better from there. This week we have life-long communications specialist, Andy Clark, of G6 Global, on the show to readdress the balance and state the case for why comms should have more emphasis placed on it. In this episode, the team will be discussing:
Andy Clark is the Managing Director of G6 Global Communications and has provided radio communications to individuals and organisations for his entire professional career, spanning over 35 years. G6 Global exists to create the best communications system for your operational needs. For more about Andy: Leave Some Feedback: • What should we talk about next? Who should we interview?

In this week's podcast, Fred Burton, the executive director at the Center for Protective Intelligence, talks about the evolution of protective intelligence and executive protection. The discussion revolves around the increasing importance of geopolitical intelligence, the benefits and challenges of having a protective intelligence skillset, and the future of the protector role. A must-listen for anyone interested in corporate security, intelligence analysis, or executive protection. Protective Intelligence has become an increasingly sought-after skill in the corporate security domain. Organizations are setting up their own geopolitical intelligence divisions within their internal security departments to provide analysis on an international level.

Protective intelligence can include areas such as surveillance awareness, med training, and open-source intelligence. Operators are advised to grow their skill sets to offer better service. It is an honor to welcome Fred Burton, Director Centre for Protective Intelligence to the Circuit Magazine Podcast to draw on his illustrious EP and Protective Intelligence career where we ask:
