said Komendat, a retired chief security officer at Boeing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">He added, &#8220;There\u2019s a lot of, I think, stepping back and looking internally right now at what do we have in place, how well does it work, where do we feel we have gaps, what do we need to close that gap and what are our next steps?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Komendat said the security community is interested in the facts behind this case and is keenly monitoring the progress of the NYPD investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;There\u2019s far more unknown than known at this point,&#8221; Kamendat said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Mihalek said while CEOs with household names like Tesla&#8217;s Elon Musk, Amazon&#8217;s Jeff Bezos and Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg all have security details, many CEOs at small companies do not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI think there\u2019s a bit of denial in the corporate world,&#8221; Mihalek said. &#8220;I think what the corporations are missing is that in this day and age with information freely available on the internet, every corporate executive is a public official. Every corporate executive\u2019s name, face, and salary are out there. So, if anybody has a grievance, whether it\u2019s an employee or an aggrieved customer, they know who these people are and they know where they work. So, I don\u2019t know why more corporations aren\u2019t investing more in making sure their decision-makers are better protected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Mihalek added, &#8220;But the lesson from yesterday is that\u2019s the cost if you cut security for the potential cost.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"vPZug oPAle xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq\" dir=\"ltr\">Other attacks on CEOs<\/h4>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Mihalek said there have been other examples over the years of executives paying the price for not having security details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">In 1992, Exxon Co. executive Sidney Reso was kidnapped from his New Jersey home and was found dead in a storage locker as his kidnappers were demanding a ransom of more than $18 million. Husband and wife Arthur and Irene Seale were arrested and convicted in the death and sent to prison. Arthur Seale was a former police officer and Exxon security consultant who was fired in 1987, officials said at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Last month, Dean Skurka, the president and CEO of WonderFi, a Toronto cryptocurrency company, was kidnapped and released after his company paid $1 million in ransom, according to the Toronto Police Service.
