Shop Talk: September 2025
Sun Sep 28 2025
In this episode team CiCP digs into the practical lessons from recent politically-motivated attacks and what they mean for protectors, event planners, and organizations. Chuck and Chris cover defense-in-depth at open-air events, the limits of crowd control, and why protective intelligence and thorough advance work (sector sketches, Google Earth, rehearsals) are now mission-critical. Chuck and Chris also talk communications — how to build a business case for security spend — and the real operational tradeoffs teams face when budgets are tight.
Join CiCP as they analyze the risks, challenges, and strategies that security professionals must navigate to stay ahead in an increasingly volatile world. Connect with the team at protectiontalk@outlook.com
