The tragic assassination of UnitedHealthcare's CEO highlights how boards need to expand their view of executive protection. With 93% of executives' home addresses available online, the risks go far beyond a cyber breach, with digital breadcrumbs potentially leading to identity theft, stalking, harassment, and even targeted violence.
Join the Corporate Board Member Network for a timely briefing with Matt Polak, human intelligence expert and CEO of VanishID, to learn how open source intelligence is being exploited by threat actors, why traditional security measures are often insufficient, and what boards need to know to protect executives and their families in today's polarized environment.
The main discussion points are:
- How attackers use public information to target leaders and their families
- Real-world examples of fraud using deepfakes and how they threaten both you and your company
- Practical steps you can take to reduce risk without adding burden or complexity
This is not a theoretical cybersecurity discussion, but a governance issue that affects board members personally and organizationally. If an attacker can exploit your personal data or your CEO's personal data, your company's most advanced defenses can be bypassed in seconds.
