The Bezos-Sánchez wedding put executive protection to the test—tight timelines, moving targets, and no room for error.

We’re not asking for hot takes, we're asking the real questions:

📌 If this had landed on your desk, what would have kept you up at night?

📌 What’s the hardest part of pulling off an op like this: comms, logistics, coordination, or contingency planning?

Physical security without digital awareness is a liability. Period.

In this conversation, Kylo Parisher (ex-military, cyber pro) lays it out: if you're in close protection and still ignoring cybersecurity, you're behind the threat curve.

Kylo’s take is simple:
🔹 Your team is a target.
🔹 Your client’s inbox is a vulnerability.
🔹 If you’re not thinking in layers, you’re leaving doors open.

Twelve days of war.

Full mobilization. No time, no margin for error. And no price hikes.

When Israel launched a preemptive strike into Iran, SCS didn’t wait for a press release; we went operational by 03:00. Evacuations, secure transport, crisis response, and teams deployed under pressure, with no shortcuts and no excuses.

While some in the industry saw opportunity, we made a choice:
We didn’t raise our prices.

Not because it was easy.
Because it was right.
We chose values over margins.
We chose trust over transactions.

This isn’t a story about strategy or politics. It’s about what this job really is when everything's on the line. It’s about loyalty. Pressure. Ethics. And what kind of professionals we choose to be when no one’s watching, except the client.

A must-read reflection on the business of war and the kind of integrity that actually holds up under fire.

You know your client.

But you also know that you’re going to have to integrate your security solutions into the client’s organization and its business model. This can only be done if you understand what the organization’s strategic plan is.

Taking that strategic plan to the next step and integrating it into the business model of the organization seems complicated, but it really isn’t.
