Company Update
Chad Brockway draws on over three decades of experience across the Military, Department of Defense, and the FBI to help celebrities, billion-dollar companies, sports leagues, and US cities identify threats and potential threats and risks before they ever happen.
Former FBI and White House Intelligence Veteran Chad Brockway Brings Federal-Grade Intelligence to Hollywood, Professional Sports and High-Profile Clients
WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2026 / Chad Brockway, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Apex Intelligence and President of the Intelligence Operations Division at Edgeworth Security, is bringing the tradecraft of the U.S. intelligence community to clients far outside of the government. His current clients include a variety of Hollywood studios and talent, professional athletes and teams in the NFL, NHL and MLB, the music industry, city governments, major public events, political figures, and high-net-worth and high-public profile individuals and their families.
Brockway's approach rests on a simple premise: "Identify the information of interest that our clients need the most and enable them to make the most informed decisions possible. The amount of available online information that we can provide to our clients is immeasurable. People all over the world utilize online social communications to voice their thoughts, opinions and signal intent far in advance of taking action. Most threats or risks have indicators long before they become incidents. The ability to locate and collect that information and then provide it to our clients in clear and actionable reporting, is what gives them a significant advantage in the decisions that they are making every day."
From the White House to the FBI
Brockway's career in national security and intelligence operations spans over three decades. As a U.S. Marine Corps Military Police Officer, he was assigned to the Marine One helicopter squadron and the White House Liaison Office under the Clinton and Bush administrations. There, he planned trips and logistics for presidential travel at home and abroad, reviewed intelligence on areas of presidential operations, and coordinated with White House Operations and supporting military units. He was awarded the Presidential Service Badge and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.
He went on to serve as Deputy Director of the Intelligence Watch Center at the Department of Defense Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), where he supported counterterrorism efforts both domestic and abroad. At the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he served as a Program Director in the Special Technologies and Applications Section (STAS) of the Science and Technology Branch (STB), overseeing intelligence and cyber investigation programs, personnel and budgets and worked alongside federal, national security and foreign law enforcement partners. He also taught intelligence and digital investigations to new agents and analysts at the FBI Academy. His FBI service earned the FBI Director's Award and two citations for work on priority investigative initiatives and counterterrorism.
Building Intelligence for the Private Sector
After government service, Brockway led program work at intelligence technology firms Ntrepid Corporation and Babel Street, where he designed and deployed commercial intelligence tools for a variety of federal government intelligence and law enforcement groups.
Since 2018, he has led Edgeworth Security's Intelligence Operations Division (IOD). In 2023, he founded Apex Intelligence, a full-service intelligence firm built around the motto: "Identify - Analyze - Report." Under his direction, analysts trained in intelligence and counterintelligence operations in the Open-Source (OSINT) and Dark Web environments conduct continuous intelligence operations on behalf of a wide variety of clients. Their unique integration of intelligence tools, emerging technology capabilities, and trained human intelligence analysts is what provides a unique service to the private and commercial marketspace.
The result, Brockway says, is that clients facing high-risk situations can make more informed decisions based on more complete information, whether the goal is prevention, crisis response or recovery after an incident.
Where Federal Tradecraft Meets Fame, Sports and Public Life
Brockway and his team now apply these capabilities across a wide range of high-stakes settings:
- High-Net-Worth and High-Profile Individuals & Families: Continuous monitoring for threats, harassment and doxxing, plus removal of exposed home addresses and other personal data.
- Hollywood and Entertainment: Support for studios, talent agencies and on-screen talent across the U.S. In 2019, Brockway was named among the leaders of Foresight Solutions Group, a venture with Principal Communications Group that helps entertainment clients find and defuse reputational risks before they surface (Deadline).
- Professional Sports (NFL, NHL and MLB): protective intelligence for athletes and organizations, including the surge of threats, scams and unwanted attention that can follow a championship run.
- The Music Industry: threat monitoring, vetting and tour and venue intelligence for artists and their teams.
- City and State Government: intelligence support for public events such as holiday celebrations, marathons, and festivals helping officials anticipate risks to crowds and infrastructure.
- Large-Scale Public and Private Events & Venues: pre-event threat identification days or weeks in advance, live monitoring during the event and a post-event assessment.
- Corporations, Wealth Managers, and Law Firms: insider-threat and intellectual-property risk monitoring, executive and hiring vetting, and litigation support.
"Intelligence isn't a silver bullet, but it changes the odds," said Brockway. "Whether it's a family, a billion-dollar company, a film studio or a city hosting fifty thousand event attendees, the people we protect make better decisions when they have the most amount of information available. Our job is to identify the warning signs early, separate the real threats from the noise and give clients time to act."
Industry Voice and Community Educator
Brockway is also a sought-after speaker on open-source and signals intelligence, digital investigations, emerging technology, and child online safety. He has been interviewed by Forbes, CNET and Fortune on how emerging technology can help combat human trafficking, investigate crimes, and reduce crimes against children. The Cipher Brief lists him as a cyber and intelligence expert. He has appeared on industry podcasts including Authentic8's NeedleStack, discussing how open-source intelligence protects celebrities and athletes (listen), and The Secure Family Podcast, on keeping children safe on social media.
Beyond his client work, Brockway has delivered hundreds of social media and emerging technology safety lectures to students and parents across the country. His talks explain how children are targeted online and how technology can be leveraged to help prevent it. School engagements include a student-body presentations on "The Risks of Social Media and Emerging Technology", which helps to educate kids on how to stay safe online and what they can do if something happens.
"Enabling kids to understand how they are targeted, identify online threats and risks early, and teaching them what to do when they see it, is really the end goal of it all," Brockway said. When it comes to parent education, Brockway says "Helping parents understand what their children are exposed to online every day is one of the most critical pieces to keeping kids safe. Helping them to create strong family guidelines and rules for use, that's as important as any client engagement."
