One attack vector noticeably missing from both government and industry alerts is the personal digital lives of executives - the C-Suite, Board Members, and senior company leaders - with direct access to financial, proprietary and confidential information.

Recently, skilled cybercriminals and nation states have strategically begun to bypass government and organizational security controls by attacking what CISOs and security teams cannot control: the online privacy, personal devices, and home networks of executives and their families.

According to BlackCloak, internal data, 87% of executives' personal devices lack any cybersecurity controls, and at least 27% of devices contain previously undiscovered malware.

75% of personal devices are leaking data due to missing or improperly configured device privacy settings, and 69% of executives have personal and work passwords available on the dark web.

Protect executives' personal digital lives, protect the organization.

With the drums of cyberwar beating harder and harder, protecting an organization may start and end with how well it can protect executives in their personal digital lives.
