The Evolution of Protective Intelligence and EP | Fred Burton

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. There is an ongoing discussion as to whether
a Protective Intelligence specialist would be more suitable or if
Protective Intelligence should be an integral part of the skill
set of all personnel within the organization. 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:


Should we expect more private involvement in protective
intelligence?

How has the evolution of ‘ground truth’ affected EP?

How can you focus on getting just what you deem important to
your operations as opposed to what a third party thinks you need
to know?

Is tomorrow’s protector now required to pursue intelligence
analysis qualifications in their free time?

Do some protectors genuinely have a fear of not knowing or
fear of missing out on intelligence that they should actually not
be focusing on?

Should protectors be empowered to highlight that some
intelligence problems are not solvable?

How can you educate your intelligence feed partner about how
to make their feeds bespoke to you?
