Fireside Chat with ESG: End User Protection Meets Digital Executive Protection

by Evan on June 14, 2022

Last week at RSA Conference 2022, BlackCloak founder and CEO Dr. Chris Pierson joined Enterprise Strategy Group cybersecurity analyst Jack Poller for a fireside chat on digital executive protection and end user protection strategies for this year and beyond.

During the 30 minute conversation, Dr. Pierson and Jack discussed:

The challenges enterprises have historically had protecting their end users, and how remote work has exacerbated these challenges
Whether or not current cybersecurity safeguards are sufficient enough to protect a majority remote and hybrid workforce, and the types of tools and technologies that are most effective
Ways in which the attack surface has expanded into the supply chain and into the home
Why and how personal digital lives and professional lives of executives are now fully intertwined, and why that causes significant problems for CISOs, CSOs and security teams
Cyberattack techniques that are most problematic to the enterprise, including email, text and voice phishing, as well as social engineering and threats from nation states
The perils of online data brokers and poor password security, and how subpar digital privacy can lead to cyberthreats of consequence to both individuals and the organization
What CISO, CSOs and security teams know about this problem, and why it’s so hard for them to find a ubiquitous solution to protect executives personal digital lives

To conclude, Dr. Pierson introduced digital executive protection, highlighting how BlackCloak helps protect organizations by protecting the personal digital lives of a company’s C-Suite, Board Members, and high-value employees with influence and access. He also highlights the value of outsourcing executive cybersecurity and privacy protection to security teams, and how it alleviates them from a quagmire of legal, ethical, privacy, and compliance concerns.
