Hot Company – Digital Executive Protection award recognizes BlackCloak's innovation in securing executives' personal digital lives
SAN FRANCISCO, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RSAC 2026 - BlackCloak, a pioneer in Digital Executive Protection (DEP) for corporate executives, boards of directors, and Family Offices, announced today that Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security magazine, has named BlackCloak a "Hot Company - Digital Executive Protection" winner in the 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards, revealed during RSAC Conference 2026 in San Francisco.
The BlackCloak DEP Platform was selected as a winner for addressing one of today's most critical and under-protected risk areas: cyber threats originating in executives' personal digital lives. By securing personal devices, home networks, online accounts, and digital identities, BlackCloak helps organizations reduce the risk of targeted attacks, financial fraud, data exposure, and lateral movement into corporate environments.
BlackCloak's DEP platform combines continuous monitoring, privacy protection, concierge support, and 24/7 incident response to deliver comprehensive protection without intruding into executives' personal lives.
"This recognition reinforces what security leaders are increasingly realizing: the personal digital lives of executives have become one of the most exploited entry points into the enterprise," said Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak. "BlackCloak created Digital Executive Protection to close this gap by securing the personal devices, home networks, and online identities that attackers target to bypass corporate defenses – and it's now a burgeoning industry category. We're honored that Cyber Defense Magazine recognized the importance of protecting the personal perimeter as part of a modern cybersecurity strategy."
"BlackCloak is addressing a rapidly expanding cybersecurity blind spot: the personal digital ecosystems of corporate leaders," said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine. "As attackers increasingly target executives' homes, devices, and online identities to gain indirect access to organizations, BlackCloak's Digital Executive Protection Platform™ delivers a unique and innovative approach to protecting the human layer of cyber risk and is absolutely worthy of this coveted award."
