Corporate Security — Fallout from the Murder of United Health CEO

UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson was murdered last December as he entered the company’s annual investor meeting. As a result of the poor security at that event, corporations around the country have begun beefing up security at their facilities and for their executives.

Reuters did an analysis of those security measures and companies like Walmart, General Motors, American Express and chipmaker Broadcom say they have put new security in place, or are spending more money on security than they have in the past.

Glen Kucera of the security firm, Allied Universal is not surprised. His company does security for 80% of the Fortune 500 companies. “The number of customers requiring assessments and executive protection has increased 10 to 15 times the number prior to December 4,” he said.

UnitedHealth has spent $1.7 million on security for its top brass since Thompson’s murder. The company said it has spent at least $330,000 for each of its five named executive officers.
