We need to get rid of the bodyguards.” Kent Moyer, CEO of The World Protection Group, delivers a bold and unfiltered message that the executive protection (EP) industry urgently needs to hear. Filmed at the Executive Security Operations Conference (ESOC) 2025, this candid conversation dives into what it really means to be a professional in executive protection — and why the outdated, ego-driven image of the “bodyguard” must go. Kent discusses how lax standards and attention-seeking behavior among EP agents are putting clients, reputations, and the future of the industry at risk. He breaks down the true qualities of a protector: discretion, training, tech-savviness, and an unwavering commitment to confidentiality. This interview covers: ✅ The difference between legitimate protection and performative security ✅ How “selfie buddyguards” are compromising client safety ✅ The rise of drone surveillance, AI tools, and data privacy in modern EP ✅ Why ESOC is critical to shaping professionalism and setting industry standards 👉 If you're in executive protection, corporate security, or serious about private client risk management — this conversation is a wake-up call.
