Corporate America is on edge and hiring armed guards after the NYC office shooting

Corporate America is on guard. A deadly shooting at a New York City office tower on Monday has companies and executives boosting security across Wall Street and corporate America. Firms are scrambling to hire armed guards, conduct risk assessments, review security protocols, and reassure employees that they're safe, security experts said on Tuesday. "The phone hasn't stopped since this morning," Sean Crowley, the cofounder and CEO of CTS Research and Investigations, told Business Insider. CTS, based in NYC, is a partner and co-owner of Illuno, an app — "Like Uber for hiring security guards," Crowley calls it — that makes it easy to hire law enforcement for security jobs. Most of the calls, Crowley said, are coming from commercial and office property managers in Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn who want to bring in armed security guards, clad in suits and ties, to post in their lobbies. "This will more than double our workload," said Crowley, a former NYPD captain and commander of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office detective squad. Corporate leaders are on edge after the second deadly shooting involving business executives in six months. Monday's attack, which played out at the New York City headquarters of the private equity firm Blackstone, left five dead, including real estate executive Wesley LePatner and the gunman. Monday's shooting followed the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December. Companies are now rushing to reassure staff and bolster security as haunting images—like barricaded office doors—underscore growing fears that working for corporate America is no longer safe. Don Aviv, president of Interfor International, a security firm that works with asset managers, told BI on Tuesday that roughly 80% of his firm's clients had "retained additional security for their lobbies and foyers," with some hiking protective services through next week. "The issue with our society is that we're reactionary and not proactive," Aviv said. Heightened security comes at a cost Banks like Goldman Sachs and Citi sought to assuage employees about workplace security on Tuesday. Goldman Sachs "has robust protocols in place to keep our people safe every day, and is proactively assessing and monitoring the safety of the firm's global campuses to protect our people and facilities around the clock," Goldman said in a memo authorised by Jacqueline Arthur, head of human capital management and corporate and workplace solutions. "This includes our dedicated team of NYPD officers and security guards at the entrance of and within our buildings, who are trained to carefully manage entry to our offices and respond to any potential incident," Arthur said, adding that Goldman "is constantly assessing" its security protocols. Citi told New York-based employees on Tuesday that the firm had "increased the security presence and capabilities at our headquarters" within the past year. "This includes working closely with the NYPD," he said. "While we feel confident with the protocols we have in place, we will not hesitate to adjust if necessary," said the memo by Ed Skyler, Citi's head of enterprise services and public affairs. For companies seeking to boost security, the extra layer of protection won't come cheap. Two security executives in New York City say posting an armed former or off-duty police officer in your lobby will cost building managers $75 to $200 an hour or more. Hiring an armed escort to protect a CEO or other prominent person will cost in the $135 to $200 range per hour. For now, it's not prohibiting demand. Herman Weisberg said his security company usually hires about 15 armed former military and NYPD officers to protect CEOs and other high-profile individuals in New York and Washington, DC. On Tuesday, that number was up to 30 — and the managing director of SAGE Intelligence thinks it will grow further. Weisberg, a former NYPD detective, said he is also seeing an increase in requests for "threat assessments," including risks tied to former disgruntled ex-employees. "One firm," he said, "wants us to work with their customer service department on analyzing current people who are complaining 'outside the norm.'" He pointed to the back-to-back tragedies of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, followed by Monday's attack. "When this stuff happens more than once, I think anybody with controversial or, at this point, even non-controversial businesses are starting to look at security and take it a little bit more seriously."

Flagstar wants to dissolve its holding company

This story was originally published on Banking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Banking Dive newsletter. Flagstar wants to dissolve its holding company, the bank said Thursday, marking the second major structural change to its regulatory mandate in little more than three years. By merging the holding company into its bank and making Flagstar Bank the surviving entity, the Hicksville, New York-based lender would cut the Federal Reserve out of supervision but keep the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as its primary regulator. The move is estimated to save $15 million in annual costs, according to a slide presentation from the bank. Additionally, it would 'streamline various functions across the organization, and eliminate redundant corporate activities and duplicative supervision and regulation,' Flagstar CEO Joseph Otting said Friday in a statement accompanying the bank's second-quarter earnings report. On that front, Flagstar counted a $70 million loss for the three months between April and June. That's $30 million less than it lost in the first quarter and $253 million less than it shed in 2024's second quarter. Otting cited growth in commercial and industrial banking, where Flagstar funded $1.2 billion in new loans, a 57% quarterly jump. Flagstar added 47 bankers and credit employees during the quarter, and planned to bring on another 40 to 50 during the second half of the year, Otting said. That's in line with estimates Otting outlined in April. "We also made further headway on reducing the level of our multifamily and commercial real estate exposure, due to record par payoffs of $1.5 billion,' he said. 'This is a primary reason why our total CRE balances are down 5% compared to the first quarter and 16% since the end of 2023.' Otting said the bank reduced its 'criticized' assets by 9%, or $1.3 billion, quarter over quarter and 15% ($2.2 billion) throughout 2025's first half. As for the holding company dissolution, such a move would not require a charter change – though Flagstar, in the recent past, has shown it's not against going that far. The bank in 2022 switched to a national banking charter from a state one to gain regulatory approval for the deal that combined Flagstar and New York Community Bank. The charter change, at the time, was seen as a maneuver to avoid needing sign-off from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The bank, however, justified the change as 'appropriate' because the OCC has regulated Flagstar's national mortgage banking business for years prior. Flagstar said it expects Thursday's move to be finalized by the end of the year, but it needs regulatory and shareholder approval. The bank aims to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission next month and to hold a shareholder meeting in October. Bank holding companies are necessary for banks that are engaged in nonbanking activities. "But if you don't want to engage in non-banking activities, if that's not your business plan, the rationale is a lot less," H. Rodgin Cohen, senior chair at law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, told American Banker. Bao Nguyen, Flagstar's general counsel, said the bank isn't interested in doing nonbanking business. "We're focused on recalibrating our regulatory relationships,' Nguyen told American Banker. 'To be simple in our structure, to have less duplication and less regulation, that's all constructive for us." Otting indicated in April that the bank's executives were targeting profitability by the fourth quarter. Flagstar is aiming to shed $600 million in operating expenses this year. That includes closing 60 retail branches, about 20 private-client retail locations, and a couple of operating centers. Flagstar is not the first major lender to dispatch with its holding company. Salt Lake City-based Zions Bank's holding company merged into its national bank subsidiary in 2017. Bank OZK did the same, also in 2017. And in a 2021 deal, Cadence Bank's holding company merged into Bancorp South but then took the Cadence name. Recommended Reading CFTC's Kristin Johnson to exit, shrinking team further
