Executive Protection: Know the Risk. Close the Gap
Executive protection is now a cyber, intelligence, fraud, and physical security problem
Senior executives are attractive targets for fraud, impersonation, and intelligence-led attacks, and the people seeking to exploit them move faster and operate at greater scale than they did a few years ago. This session explains how that targeting is actually done — from public data, leaked records, and predictable movement — and how organisations can intervene and protect their staff.
Duration: 54 minutes
Relevant for: CISOs; security leaders; protective and corporate security teams; threat intelligence teams; and anyone responsible for the safety of senior leadership.
Originally broadcast: September 2026
What you will learn
Drawing on real cases, threat intelligence investigations, and CSIS research into leaked data, this session covers:
- How executive targeting is evolving across the threat landscape
- What real cases reveal about how these attacks unfold
- What AI is genuinely changing about impersonation, deepfakes, and the speed of targeting
- Where executive cyber exposure connects to broader physical risk
- Who else belongs in scope — assistants, family members, and household staff
- What security leaders should prioritise to reduce executive vulnerabilities
- How intelligence-led assessment and monitoring can surface exposure earlier
