In this episode of Full Spectrum Risk, Erin joins Chuck Randolph to discuss what it takes to build a security program from the ground up, earn trust before decisions are made, influence the design of secure built environments, and strengthen preparedness across an entire sector.

She also shares a powerful perspective on the value of contract security officers, the importance of “actionable academics,” and why the next generation of security leaders may already be sitting at the front desk.

Political violence is not new. But the speed at which grievance, ideology, and violence now reinforce one another should concern every security leader.

In this episode, Chuck Randolph and Trinity Davis examine the quiet escalation taking place across the threat landscape, from the normalization of violence against public figures to the growing risks posed by insiders, grievance actors, and copycat behavior. Drawing on historical parallels and recent cases, they explore how the threat surface has changed, where traditional security models are falling short, and what protective intelligence and executive protection teams need to do differently.

In this episode of Full Spectrum Risk, Brian “Cookie” Cooke joins us to unpack the human side of risk: executive protection, travel security, crisis readiness, and what it really takes to keep people safe in an unpredictable world. Drawing on more than 25 years across the Marine Corps, the U.S. Department of State, Fortune 25 corporate security, and global consulting, Cookie explains why too many organizations wait until a crisis hits to take security seriously, and what separates programs that work from those that only look good on paper. This conversation is a practical look at preparedness, leadership, and the security decisions that matter most before things go wrong.

From emotional intelligence to cognitive bias and decision pressure, this conversation explores the hidden layer shaping risk before it becomes visible, and why the future of intelligence depends on mastering it.

In this episode of Full Spectrum Risk, we sit down with 360 Privacy Chief Technology Officer Brandon Hamric to discuss a variety of topics, from the realities of AI’s “J-curve,” to the rise of exposure as a primary risk category. Exposure is expanding, adversaries are adapting in real time, and the gap between insight and action is shrinking. This is a conversation about what it actually takes to keep up and make intelligence matter.

You’re not preparing for the next threat because you’re already inside it.
