PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZeroEyes, creators of the leading multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, today announced that specialty insurance leader David Macpherson has joined the company as a strategic advisor for risk and insurance. He will advise ZeroEyes on insurance strategy, alternative risk financing, customer risk-management programs, and engagement with global insurers.
ZeroEyes pioneered human-verified visual firearm detection to help organizations identify imminent active threats and facilitate faster, life-saving response with real-time, reliable intelligence. As the company expands its threat detection analytics and capabilities, it is also working to support the acute needs of risk management and recovery. The recently launched Harborwatch Association is an affiliated, risk-focused membership organization initially serving PK-12 organizations that have deployed ZeroEyes visual firearm detection on premises. It provides access to resources intended to strengthen preparedness, response and resilience, as well as crisis management and risk-financing support connected to qualifying firearm-related events.
“Human-verified threat detection, delivered in real time, can support better risk management, more effective crisis response and new approaches to financing weapons-related risk,” said Macpherson. “I am excited to help ZeroEyes develop this opportunity.”
Macpherson is Head of Specialty at C J Coleman and has more than 20 years of experience designing and implementing global insurance programs for major organizations. His expertise includes active assailant coverage, complex geopolitical and emerging risks.
In his advisory role, David Macpherson will support ZeroEyes as it:
- Develops risk management and loss-control resources tied to the company’s technology and operational experience
- Evaluates new insurance and alternative risk-financing applications
- Strengthens Harborwatch Association and related initiatives
- Builds relationships across the commercial insurance industry
“The most valuable insurance partnerships seek to do more than simply transfer risk,” Macpherson added. “They help organizations understand exposure, reduce risk, and respond more effectively when an event occurs. ZeroEyes has the operational foundation to pilot that model for the industry.”
