You must know the players in order to win the game

In the modern age of corporate EP, agents must study and understand the roles and responsibilities of not only the person(s) in their charge but also their staff and reporting structure. They should also have a working knowledge of the missions and strategies that drive the organization’s exploits in the global corporate landscape. Through continuing observation and education, agents can begin to integrate solutions and strategies in anticipation of developing threats rather than reacting to them. It’s no longer enough to simply protect the client; one must become a multifunctional asset, indispensable to not only the security but also the overall success of the client mission.
