Analysis: Business Executives' Personal Safety In Focus

Recent high-profile attacks on corporate executives have put physical security at the top of the C-suite agenda. The World Security Report reveals that nearly half of security chiefs from large global companies say the threat of violence toward executives has increased in the last two years.
