The Challenge
We discovered serious threats aimed at a top executive of a global corporation, both in their professional and personal life. These threats put their work and home life in jeopardy. What's more, we found signs that the culprits were planning to take action during a crucial business period to cause maximum disruption. Adding to the complexity, we uncovered an insider threat perspective, meaning the culprits could exploit someone with insider knowledge and access to harm the executive and the entire organization.
The threats targeting the executive client posed serious risks - safety concerns for themselves and loved ones, damage to their reputation and that of the organization, and disruption of crucial business operations and a major announcement.
