Industry News – 19th November 2019

A quick-thinking bodyguard was captured on CCTV protecting his female client from an attacker posing as a pizza delivery courier.

The attempted attack took place at around 2 pm in the entrance of the hotel Santa Fe in Mexico’s central capital Mexico City.

In the footage, the bodyguard can be seen shadowing the woman as she walks around a black SUV and unloads her bags.

A man on a motorbike cruises into the hotel grounds and pulls up close behind the SUV when the bodyguard places himself between the woman and the attacker.

 

 

The attacker quickly moves to get closer to the woman and pulls something out of his pocket, prompting the woman to run inside and the bodyguard to draw his gun.

The pair both fire shots but the courier is forced away when the bodyguard fires at him.

Ways to See the Threat Before it Happens

Threat modelling is widely in use, whether knowingly or not, across every walk of life – and has been used since time immemorial to prioritise security defences. The only difference between the well-known risk assessments carried out by everyone and threat modelling in cyber security is the attempt to document and systemise it.
