Digital Executive Protection

Protect against threats targeting or impersonating VIPs. 

Executives Are High-Value Targets for Threat Actors

Text

Cyber threats facing executives vary as widely as their unique personalities and leadership styles. The importance of executives and the public-facing nature of their roles increasingly expose them to a wide range of attacks.

The growing online presence of executives, both personal and professional, makes it difficult for security teams to track and identify legitimate threats. VIPs are subject to account takeover, spear-phishing attacks, and impersonation, as well as protests, threats of physical harm, and extortion. As their online profiles expand, the probability of compromise increases.

Monitor Executive Threats Across the Digital Landscape

Lack of visibility into the broad range of threats targeting VIPs 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.

PhishLabs 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.
