This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. No matter your political leanings, one thing is certain: 9/11 was a gamechanger for the world and for security.
It's likely that those reading this newsletter have been more directly impacted by 9/11 than most. Along with homeland security and emergency services, the security industry has been asked to adapt and shoulder the responsibility for protecting the vulnerable at home and overseas.
Many of us have lost friends and colleagues from the fallout of what happened 20 years ago and this week's newsletter is dedicated to their memory.

Threat Intelligence - Advanced Skill or Industry Standard? | Chris Story — podcast.circuit-magazine.com
Is threat intelligence the only language that physical protection and cyber security can use to effectively communicate the how, the why and the where?
This week, we're going to be talking with Risk intelligence expert and trainer, Chris Story, familiar to many as the co-host of the Conversations in Close Protection Podcast.
In this revealing interview, we ask Chris…
Where does his passion for threat intelligence come from?
Because threat intelligence isn’t considered a ‘sexy’ training subject, it often gets overlooked. How do we change the perception to get buy-in?
Where should threat intelligence 'live' so that it's effective, accessible and relevant?
Should everyone sign-up for basic threat Intel training as if they were in the military?
Tune in to episode 35 for more of how threat intelligence can increase your capability as a protector. As Chris reminds us...
“If you look at the risk and threat intelligence to understand what can hurt you beyond the 15 yards that you're responsible for then it makes your job abundantly easier.”
