How Impersonation Protection Works
A human-centric safety layer that AI cannot mimic: before an executive acts on a call, text, WhatsApp or video message, they know who is really on the other end.
-
A validation request goes out
Using the BlackCloak app, members send an out-of-band validation request whenever a call, text, WhatsApp, or video message is received.
-
The contact confirms, or denies
The executive’s contact quickly confirms or denies they sent the communication, verified by their own device biometrics and location, before the executive responds.
-
The whole circle is covered
Impersonation Protection is extended to your executives’ family members, advisors, and caregivers at no additional fee, even if they aren’t BlackCloak clients.
-
Nothing to install but the app
No extra hardware or complex setup is required. Impersonation Protection is built into the BlackCloak app your executives already carry.
A Multi-Dimensional Approach to Deepfake Defense
To reduce the risk and volume of impersonation attacks, BlackCloak Digital Executive Protection combines Impersonation Protection with the following services:
Privacy & Identity Defense
We remove executives’ personal data from broker sites, monitor the dark web for exposed credentials, and blur their home from Google Street View, cutting off the data attackers use to support their convincing impersonation attacks.
Executive Threat Intelligence
Executives receive threat assessments and monitoring across news, social media, and dark web channels, flagging impersonating accounts, spoofed domains, and disinformation before they reach your board or your customers.
Personal Security Operations
Continuous endpoint monitoring and a US-based SOC stand behind every executive, ready to contain an incident the moment a deepfake or impersonation attempt gets through.

What security leaders say about BlackCloak
I’ve seen first-hand how BlackCloak gives CISOs new levels of assurance they previously didn’t have. Their curated approach ensures executives’ personal cybersecurity is protected in ways not found elsewhere.
BlackCloak has been hugely valuable in creating a truly secure environment for our senior executives, at their homes and while they travel. It’s a critical service that any large organization should have.
As a CEO, I know I am a target for hacking and other attacks. These are the types of risks that companies and corporate executives cannot directly combat, unless they have a trusted concierge cybersecurity partner like BlackCloak backing them up.
