Executives Are High-Value Targets for Threat Actors
Cyber threats targeting executives are as diverse as their personalities and leadership styles. Their high-profile, public-facing roles make them increasingly vulnerable to a broad spectrum of attacks.
As executives' personal and professional online presence grows, it becomes more challenging for security teams to detect and assess legitimate threats. These individuals face risks such as account takeovers, spear-phishing, impersonation, protests, physical threats, and extortion. The broader their digital footprint, the greater the risk of compromise.
Monitor Executive Threats Across the Digital Landscape
Lack of visibility into the broad range of threats targeting executives makes even common risks difficult to identify. Security teams must ensure their feeds are capturing the critical data needed from a broad set of sources to stop attacks before damage is done.
Fortra Brand Protection monitors for executive threats across the surface web, deep web, dark web, and social media, providing complete visibility of an executive’s online presence. With blanket coverage of the threat landscape, enterprises can identify a broad array of threats ranging from whaling attacks to threats that breach the firewall through business email compromise (BEC) scams preying on unsuspecting employees, to highly discreet, dark web chatter threatening physical harm to executives.
Reduce Noise, Identify Real Threats
Security teams often struggle to filter through the noise generated by high-profile business leaders, making it difficult to quickly distinguish real threats from false positives. While AI and machine learning are valuable tools, relying on them alone can result in incomplete threat analysis, leaving executives exposed.
Fortra Brand Protection combines advanced technology with expert human analysis to cut through the noise and accurately identify threats targeting executives. This high-fidelity, context-rich approach delivers comprehensive visibility into malicious online activity, helping protect the C-suite from serious risk.
Minimize Executive Risks with Streamlined Mitigation
When credible executive attacks are identified, security teams are on the clock to swiftly mitigate the threat. However, many are unable to take down threats quickly enough to minimize damage.
Properly executed mitigation is labor intensive. It requires detailed evidence gathering and advanced knowledge of takedown policies and procedures to block and remove malicious content.
As a valued extension of your security team, Fortra Brand Protection delivers world-class mitigation services backed by years of strong industry relationships and specialized knowledge of takedown procedures that streamline the mitigation of executive threats and minimize negative impact.
Extend Your Security Team and Improve Security ROI
The broad range of cyberattacks threatening executives and the brands they represent is an operational challenge for security teams. With limited expertise, time, and budget to manage a sprawling threat matrix, volumes of data to examine, and complicated mitigation procedures, enterprises struggle to takedown threats timely before damage is done.
Fortra Brand Protection provides businesses a strong ROI with an end-to-end solution that delivers complete visibility, expert curation of data, and industry-proven mitigation to protect executives and their reputations.
