Caleb Barlow is joining Ben and Dave to discuss executive protection and the intersection with cybersecurity. They dive into the recent killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and how it has alarmed corporate America, prompting companies to reassess security measures and protect executives amid concerns of copycat attacks. Security firms report a surge in requests for protection, as experts warn of increased risks tied to public outrage over "corporate greed" and the attention the crime has generated. While many firms are investing in extensive security measures, the costs and logistical challenges are significant, leaving smaller companies and less prominent executives particularly vulnerable.

This week’s Caveat Briefing covers the story of the U.S. Court of Appeals' striking down of the FCC's net neutrality rules, ending a nearly two-decade battle over regulating broadband providers as utilities. The court ruled that the FCC lacked authority to reinstate these rules, citing a recent Supreme Court decision, Loper Bright, which limits agency powers. While the decision concludes a contentious chapter in tech policy, it leaves state-level net neutrality laws intact and signals a potential call for federal legislative action.
