About Dr. Chris Pierson

A former CISO, CPO and General Counsel for organizations including the Department of Homeland Security, Royal Bank of Scotland, InfraGard Arizona and Viewpost, Chris was at the forefront of identifying the risks facing corporate executives and their families from cyber attacks on their personal lives.

Chris’ dedication to create a solution that reduces this burgeoning threat led him to develop Digital Executive Protection as a formal category within the cybersecurity sector. Since then, Digital Executive Protection has evolved, with different organizations and individuals contributing to its development and understanding, however Chris and his company, BlackCloak have remained the leading experts on the topic.

What is Digital Executive Protection?

Digital Executive Protection (DEP) is rapidly becoming the preferred solution to safeguard against threat actors who exploit executives’ personal lives to infiltrate corporate systems.

It achieves this by:

  • Minimizing executives’ online digital footprint, thereby reducing exposed personal information.
  • Identifying and mitigating cyber risks aimed at executives’ private accounts, devices, and home networks.
  • Providing education and training to executives and their families, empowering them to make informed cybersecurity choices.
  • Offering incident response capabilities to swiftly address threats before escalation.
