Executive Threat Protection

See What Attackers Can Find About Your Leadership.

Attacks on executives start with a reused password in an old breach, a home laptop that ran an infostealer, or a lookalike domain set up to send mail as the CFO. Cyber Threat Intelligence and Brand Risk Protection point at a list your team defines, so exposure tied to those people is worked first.

The Ways In Are All Ordinary.

Executives are easy to find and worth the effort. Much of what an attacker needs has already been published or already leaked.

Reuse

Breached Passwords

A personal service is breached and the password matches a corporate login. A public name and title make the corporate address easy to guess.

Devices

Infostealer Infections

A home laptop or a shared family machine runs an infostealer. Saved corporate passwords and session cookies leave with it.

Chatter

Named on the Dark Web

A name, an email address or the company domain comes up in a forum post, a market listing or a leak.

Impersonation

Mail From a Lookalike

A domain one character off yours, with mail servers configured, is all a payment request in the CEO’s name needs.

Define the List, Then Follow the Exposure.

  1. 01

    Define

    Agree who is on the protected list: the board, the C-suite, and people with privileged access or a public profile, such as finance approvers.

  2. 02

    Flag

    Mark them on the accounts Cyber Threat Intelligence finds: is_executive on compromised employee accounts, vip on breached accounts.

  3. 03

    Watch

    Breaches, leaked credentials and infected devices tied to flagged accounts carry the flag. Mentions are watched for the people, lookalikes for your brand.

  4. 04

    Act

    Reset what is still live, revoke sessions, brief the person, warn payment approvers and send confirmed lookalike domains to takedown.

An Infected Laptop Leaks Every Saved Login.

An infostealer takes whatever the browser kept, and on an executive’s machine that can include single sign-on, webmail and finance tools. A live session cookie can skip the password and the MFA prompt, so sessions get revoked first.

Questions About Executive Threat Protection

Who should be on the protected list?

Whoever your team decides. Most start with the board and the C-suite, then add people with privileged access or a public profile: finance approvers, executive assistants, spokespeople and engineers with production access.

Does it cover personal email addresses?

Breach and credential monitoring follows the addresses on your organization’s domains. A personal address or a name can be checked on demand with Dark Web Search, which takes an email address as an indicator.

Are personal devices covered?

When they held work logins, yes. Stealer logs include personal and family machines where someone signed in to work systems, and those infections are tied to your employees like any other.

Can we hand the findings to the people who brief executives?

Yes. Employee account and credential searches take a filter, the executive flag included, and each has an export twin that returns all matching records as CSV or JSON without paging.

Is this a physical protection service?

No. It covers the digital exposure the platform can see: breaches, leaked credentials, infected devices, dark web mentions and lookalike domains. Physical security teams can use those findings as one input among their own.
