In August 2025, Charleston-based biotech CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, experienced a nightmare scenario that should serve as a wake-up call for business leaders everywhere. After canceling an Uber ride because the driver refused to accommodate his service dog, Kobel was suddenly and violently attacked in a parking lot. At 1st Veterans Security LLC, we design executive protection programs that eliminate these gaps and protect clients from both everyday risks and high-profile threats.

That’s why leading corporations and family offices turn to 1st Veterans Security LLC to design and manage bespoke executive protection programs tailored for travel.

In today’s dynamic threat landscape, corporate executives and their families face a heightened risk profile — from targeted crimes and stalking to corporate espionage, protest activity, and opportunistic violence. High-profile individuals are not immune to public scrutiny or random attacks, and real-world events remind us that neglecting security exposes leaders and organizations to unacceptable risks.

Most recently, our leadership completed an outstanding Executive Protection course with Sig Sauer Academy and Experience Center.

In today’s threat landscape, physical security is no longer a luxury- it’s a strategic necessity. For ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), public executives, and high-profile families, targeted risks like stalking, surveillance, burglary, and even attempted home invasion are increasing in both frequency and sophistication.

The HBJ article underscored the company's expertise in UHNWI family protection, executive security, and corporate risk mitigation.
