The road to 2028 is already underway.

As Los Angeles prepares to welcome the world for the 2028 Olympic Games, it is a reminder that successful events are built on preparation that begins long before the first guest arrives.

Effective event security starts with understanding the environment, identifying vulnerabilities, coordinating stakeholders, and developing plans that can adapt as circumstances evolve.

AT-RISK helps organizations prepare through tailored event security solutions, including security assessments, protective intelligence, advance planning, secure transportation, and close protection.

Your event may be months, or even years, away. Your security planning should not be.

AI data centers are becoming more than critical infrastructure; they're becoming focal points for an evolving security landscape. As AI infrastructure expands, so does the complexity of protecting it.

According to AT-RISK International's Global Risk Intelligence team, anti-data center sentiment continues to intensify across the U.S., while security professionals and federal authorities are increasingly recognizing AI data centers as high-value infrastructure. Although successful physical attacks remain uncommon, the convergence of organized protest activity, cyber threats, and the potential for sabotage is creating a more complex risk environment for operators, technology companies, and public officials.

Our latest intelligence brief highlights:
• The rise in nationwide protest activity
• Why AI data centers are drawing increased attention
• Emerging security trends
• Practical recommendations for organizations monitoring this evolving landscape

Strong security isn't built on assumptions. It's built on curiosity - the willingness to ask one more question, to look one step further, and to notice what others overlook.

Whether we're conducting investigations, producing intelligence, supporting executive protection, or assessing threats, curiosity is one of the most valuable skills our team brings to every engagement.

We don't hire people because they have all the answers. We hire people who never stop looking for better ones.

For Danny Ruiz, the evolving nature of protective intelligence is what makes the work so rewarding.

"The work is incredibly fulfilling because it never feels routine. There are always opportunities to develop new skills, expand your knowledge, and become a better analyst."

As a Protective Intelligence Analyst, Danny values the fact that no two days are ever the same. As mission requirements evolve and the threat landscape shifts, he works alongside his team to provide timely intelligence that helps support informed decisions and protect clients around the world.

The strongest security programs aren't built in the middle of a crisis, they're built long before one ever occurs.

When a leading southeastern university sought to strengthen its active assailant prevention and response capabilities, AT-RISK conducted a comprehensive assessment of its security posture, emergency planning, crisis response protocols, training, and campus infrastructure.

Through stakeholder interviews, facility assessments, and reviews of emergency management processes, our team delivered a prioritized roadmap designed to strengthen prevention, improve coordination, and enhance preparedness across the institution.

Effective security isn't just about responding when something happens. It's about identifying vulnerabilities, building resilience, and helping educational institutions and organizations prepare for the risks they hope they'll never face.

Behind every successful protective operation is a foundation of planning, intelligence, communication, and continuous assessment. From advance work and route analysis to protective intelligence assessments and contingency planning, every element plays a role in reducing risk and supporting informed decision-making.

To help practitioners, clients, and those new to the profession build a shared understanding of these concepts, we've compiled a quick-reference glossary of 30 common Executive Protection terms.

Whether you're part of a protective detail, support security operations, or simply want to better understand the discipline, we hope this resource serves as a valuable reference.

Which EP term do you think is most often misunderstood or deserves more attention?

This session will explore the behavioral indicators that help inform effective threat assessment, equipping practitioners with practical insights for identifying, evaluating, and managing potential risks before they escalate.

What if the greatest risk to your executive isn't physical but informational? Sensitive conversations, board meetings, acquisition plans, legal strategy, and intellectual property can all become targets. That's why Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) have become an increasingly important part of modern executive protection.

We want to highlight AT-RISK International President & CEO Chuck Tobin’s latest contribution to the field of executive protection and protective security. Alongside Jordan Kelly, Chuck authored "Technical Surveillance Countermeasures: A Risk-Based Approach to Protecting Sensitive Information," featured in the newest edition of IPSB's Close Protection Journal.

As technology continues to reshape the threat landscape, protecting executives requires more than physical security alone. The article explores how organizations can take a risk-based approach to TSCM, helping safeguard sensitive conversations, critical information, and the environments where business gets done.

Sharing knowledge and advancing industry best practices is an important part of strengthening the security profession. We're proud to see Chuck contributing to these conversations and helping organizations think more strategically about protecting what matters most.

You can read the article in the latest issue of the IPSB Close Protection Journal.
