The figure rose to 66% among U.S.-based security chiefs at technology companies, suggesting that concerns may be particularly pronounced within the tech sector.

For Tim Crockett, co-founder of DGBI-USA, which works across intelligence, investigations and security risk management, those figures raise a broader question for technology leaders. The immediate concern is executive safety. The longer-term concern is whether distrust around technology, work and institutions could make hostility toward visible business leaders harder to assess.
