What security challenges does Executive Protection address?

Hacks and takeovers of executives’ and VIPs’ social media accounts Executive impersonation attacks and abuse Targeted cyber threats and harassment (doxxing, swatting, and data compromise, etc) Lacking situational awareness of physical and violent threats, as well as public safety concerns (posts threatening violence, location and travel-related threats, and suspicious geo-location activity, etc) Exposed personal information of the executives and their family members

Why do I need Executive Protection?

Executive protection is essential to mitigate the various risks that executives and VIPs face in their personal and professional lives. The security teams responsible for executive protection must remain vigilant to safeguard these high-profile individuals and their families from emerging external threats across the surface, deep and dark web, as well as the physical world. The scale and sophistication of modern attack campaigns present significant challenges for security teams in keeping pace with emerging threats. Surface web attacks, such as impersonating social media accounts or other public sites of executives/VIPs, can result in phishing, fraud, or harmful content posted with the intent to damage the targeted executive’s reputation. Another major issue is the trading of stolen information and doxxing in deep and dark web spaces. Threat actors regularly buy and sell an executive’s sensitive user information stolen from data breaches, leading to risks such as account takeovers and identity theft. Moreover, leaks of personally identifiable information (PII) like names, addresses, and phone numbers can result in doxxing, which creates physical security risks for executives and their families. Executives and VIPs also face risks from exposure incidents and disruption events in the home, office, and during travel, such as public safety incidents like bomb threats, shootings, fires, amber alerts, natural disasters, travel advisories, protest gatherings, and more. Hence, Executive Protection is necessary to mitigate these risks and ensure the safety and security of high-profile individuals and their families.

What is executive protection?

Executive Protection is a comprehensive security solution that safeguards executives, VIPs, and other high-value targets from physical and cyber threats. With over 75% of executives‘ credentials exposed and risks continuing to grow, prioritizing their protection has become more critical than ever. Executive Protection addresses three primary areas of concern: preventing threat actors from exploiting executive reputation and influence through social media impersonations, account takeovers, and phishing attacks; detecting and removing exposed personal information(PII) on data broker sites; and protecting executives from physical threats and disruptive global events.

Why is executive protection vital?

Given the increasing prevalence of digital risks, security teams must take into account both physical and digital threats when implementing executive protection measures. Sensitive information about executives and high-value individuals is constantly being exposed on social media, data broker sites, and the dark web. AI-powered executive protection solutions can ensure that these disclosures don't lead to executive impersonations, inadvertent leakage of critical data, or even compromise their digital and physical safety. An AI-led platform is critical in analyzing the complexity of the intertwined digital and physical environments and driving protection for these high-value targets.
