THE CORPORATE THREAT ENVIRONMENT IS CHANGING

The recent killing of a Bank of America vice president is another reminder that corporate leaders and employees are operating in an increasingly unpredictable security environment.

Not every act of violence involving an executive is targeted. Some are random. Others involve workplace disputes, personal grievances, stalking, disgruntled employees, or hostility toward a company and its leadership.

But the numbers are becoming difficult to ignore.

A global survey of more than 2,300 corporate security leaders found that 42% reported a significant increase in threats of violence against executives. Among U.S. technology companies, that number climbed to 66%.

Executive risk assessments have reportedly increased fivefold, while median executive-security spending among the largest U.S. companies increased 16% in 2024.

And we are seeing it firsthand.

At Axios Security Group, we've experienced a significant increase in requests involving hostile terminations, disgruntled employees, aggressive former employees, workplace threats, and concerns involving corporate leadership.

A termination may be an HR event at 10:00 a.m. and a security issue at 10:05 a.m.

That's why coordination between HR, legal, leadership, and security is becoming increasingly important. Threat assessment, protective intelligence, termination support, workplace security, and executive protection shouldn't begin only after a threat has already escalated.

The objective isn't to turn every difficult termination into a tactical operation.

It's to recognize when the risk profile has changed before an incident occurs.

The statistics are telling us something.

Our clients are telling us something.

And what we're seeing operationally is telling us something.

Organizations can no longer afford to treat executive protection and workplace violence as purely reactive security functions.

The time to evaluate the threat is before it reaches the front door.

I’m very excited about the upcoming release of The House of Lies: Marriage, Murder, and the Art of Deception, coming February 2, 2027.

I was honored and privileged to contribute to this book by Anthony M. Amore, an award-winning, New York Times bestselling author.

Having the opportunity to lend my professional experience and investigative perspective to this project was incredibly rewarding. Cases like this often involve layers that extend far beyond what the public initially sees, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to the research and discussion surrounding this case.

Congratulations to Anthony and everyone involved in bringing The House of Lies to readers. It was a privilege to play a part in this project, and I’m looking forward to seeing the book officially released on February 2.

If you haven’t watched the Fox Nation special on the Ana Walshe case, I highly recommend it as well. It was a very well-done production and provides an insightful look into the case, the investigation, and the circumstances surrounding Ana Walshe’s murder.

On New Year’s Eve, 2022, Ana Walshe, a beautiful and successful young immigrant and mother of three, enjoyed a quiet but happy evening at home with her husband and their closest friend. She went to bed filled with optimism about the year ahead. She was never seen alive again. Her husband...

Exciting day for Axios Security Group!

I had a great meeting today at our new West Palm Beach office and finally had the opportunity to see the location in person. I’m incredibly excited about this next chapter for Axios and what this expansion represents for our continued growth in Florida.

Every new office is another step forward in expanding our ability to serve our clients and build stronger relationships in the communities where we operate.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but it was great to walk through the doors today and see another part of the Axios vision becoming a reality.
Very excited about what’s ahead for Axios Security Group in West Palm Beach!

🇺🇸 YOUR NAME. YOUR SERVICE. YOUR LEGACY — IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

For those of us who have worn the uniform, our service becomes part of who we are long after we take it off.

There is a monument in Washington, D.C. that allows veterans and service members to have their name and military service recognized and preserved as part of our nation’s history.

Every name represents a story.

A family that sacrificed.
Time away from home.
Brothers and sisters we served beside.
Experiences and memories that stay with us for a lifetime.

Not everyone served in the same place, fought the same battles, or wore the same uniform. But everyone who raised their right hand made a commitment to something greater than themselves.

If you served, I encourage you to check it out and see how your name and service can become part of this lasting tribute.

👉 Learn more and add your name here:

Your time in uniform may have ended.

🇺🇸 But your service, your sacrifice, and your legacy should never be forgotten.

Search more than 41 million veterans from every U.S. conflict using USAA's new national monument and see if your family member is included.

🎥 INSIDE THE AXIOS EXECUTIVE PROTECTION COURSE | FAYETTEVILLE, NC

In May, we brought professionals together in Fayetteville, North Carolina, for the Axios Security Group Executive Protection Course.

Now we're giving you an inside look at what that training was all about.

Executive Protection is much more than standing beside a principal. It requires planning, situational awareness, communication, teamwork, sound judgment, adaptability, and professionalism.

Throughout the course, our students were put through classroom instruction, practical exercises, and scenario-based training designed around the realities of professional protective operations.

The goal wasn't simply to complete a course.

The goal was to develop more capable protection professionals.

We're proud of the students who came out and put in the work, as well as the instructors who shared their knowledge and real-world experience.

And we're doing it again.
📅 October 13–16, 2026
📍 The Farm at Eagle Ridge
🛡️ Axios Security Group Executive Protection Training Program

Our next course will continue building on what we accomplished in Fayetteville, with an experienced instructional cadre and hands-on training designed for those serious about working in Executive Protection.

✈️ Unruly Passengers: A Continuing Threat to Aviation Security

Recent incidents involving Frontier Airlines, Alaska Airlines and other carriers should get our attention.

We have seen passengers allegedly attempting to breach cockpit doors, threatening to take over aircraft, assaulting crew members, attempting to open aircraft doors, and making threats serious enough to trigger emergency responses.

But these incidents highlight a larger aviation security concern: unruly and potentially violent passengers.

While unruly-passenger incidents remain significantly below the record levels seen in 2021, the problem hasn't disappeared. Continued incidents demonstrate why vigilance still matters.

So what can passengers do?

• Stay aware. Pay attention when someone's behavior begins escalating.

• Notify the crew early. If you observe threatening or suspicious behavior, discreetly alert a flight attendant.

• Follow crew instructions. Flight attendants are trained for these situations. Don't become another problem for the crew by immediately jumping into the situation. Uncoordinated intervention can create additional confusion and make it harder for the crew to control the incident.

• Create distance when possible. Especially when traveling with children, move away from an escalating confrontation when directed or when it is safe to do so.

• Don't provoke the individual. Your objective is safety—not winning an argument, confronting someone, or getting the best video for social media.

• Be prepared to assist if absolutely necessary. If there is an immediate threat to life or an attempt to gain access to the cockpit, circumstances may require capable passengers to help—but whenever possible, take direction from the flight crew.

Air travel remains extraordinarily safe, but security requires awareness from everyone onboard.

Stay alert. Stay calm. Listen to the crew. And if something doesn't look right, say something early.

🔐 AIR FORCE ONE LEAK: WHY THIS MATTERS

The Pentagon has reportedly revoked former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s access to classified information following allegations that he made an unauthorized disclosure to The New York Times involving the security and defensive capabilities of the Qatari-gifted aircraft being prepared for presidential use.

If substantiated, this is much bigger than a political story.

It is an insider-threat and national security issue.

Individuals entrusted with classified information retain an obligation to protect that information—even after leaving government service. Former rank, title, or position does not eliminate that responsibility.

Why does this matter?

• Sensitive capabilities can expose vulnerabilities. Information concerning the defensive architecture of an aircraft carrying the President of the United States could potentially help an adversary understand how that aircraft is protected.

• The insider threat is real. Organizations often focus heavily on external cyberattacks while some of their most sensitive information is already accessible to trusted insiders.

• Access must remain need-to-know. A security clearance does not mean unrestricted or permanent entitlement to classified information.

• Information security is operational security. A disclosure does not have to involve stolen servers or sophisticated malware to create a security problem. Sometimes the vulnerability is a person with legitimate access who improperly shares protected information.

• Accountability matters at every level. Seniority should never exempt someone from the standards imposed on everyone entrusted with national-security information.

This is an important reminder for government agencies and private organizations alike:

Your cybersecurity program can be sophisticated, but if you fail to manage privileged access and insider risk, your greatest vulnerability may already be inside the organization.

Cybersecurity isn't only about protecting networks.

It's about protecting information, access, and trust.

The Best Executive Protection Is the Protection You Barely Notice.

Executive protection isn’t about being seen. It’s about ensuring the client can move through their day safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

A recent Axios Security Group protective operation required coordinated transportation, residential pickup, multiple movements, event coverage, continuous communications, schedule management, and secure return.
From the client’s perspective, the day simply moved as planned.

That’s the point.

Behind that seamless experience was a professional team continuously assessing the environment, adapting to changing conditions, coordinating movements, managing timing, and maintaining a discreet protective presence.

No unnecessary displays.
No disruption to the client’s schedule.
No breakdowns in communication.

Just disciplined preparation, sound judgment, adaptability, and professional ex*****on.

Vehicles matter. Technology matters. Intelligence and advance planning matter. But ultimately, the decisive capability remains the quality of the professionals entrusted with protecting the client.

At Axios Security Group, our standard is simple: protect the client, preserve their freedom of movement, and allow them to focus on what matters most.

Our executive protection teams support corporate executives, private clients, family offices, organizations, and high-profile individuals with protective services across the United States and internationally.

From single-day assignments and executive travel to secure transportation, special events, and ongoing protective details, Axios Security Group is prepared to support the mission wherever it takes our clients.

Mission complete. Client protected. Standard maintained.
