Dr. Pierson to be Joined by James Shreve, Privacy and Cybersecurity Legal Expert, in Live Incident Response Fire Drill
ORLANDO, Fla., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BlackCloak, the leader in Digital Executive Protection (DEP) for corporate executives, boards of directors, and Family Offices, announces that its visionary Founder and CEO, Dr. Chris Pierson, will kick off the RSAC 2026 Incident Management track with a live, real-world learning session: "Deepfake Crisis: A Hands-On Executive Incident Response Lab."
Dr. Pierson is joined by James Shreve, an expert privacy and cybersecurity attorney and risk strategist. The session is designed to educate attendees on the multiple stages of battling a live deepfake incident and how to make critical decisions under intense pressure.
"Chris is among the top cyber minds out there, and our RSA presentations are a must-see," said Shreve. "Together, we will create the type of multi-stage deepfake crisis scenario that can cause severe financial and reputational damage for any company – and its executives – in the public eye. This is a unique opportunity for attendees to interact with peers and learn from a leader in cybersecurity about an insidious threat gaining traction every day – deepfake impersonations. Chris and I will help participants not only learn more about deepfakes, but also consider deepfake issues from different perspectives within the company."
"The surge in deepfake impersonations isn't just a theoretical risk; we are seeing these scams launched at our client base with an alarming frequency," said Dr. Chris Pierson. "I am honored to be joined by James Shreve, whose legal and strategic perspective is invaluable when navigating the impact of these attacks. Together at RSAC, we're moving beyond the 'what-if' to provide a hands-on lab where leaders can stress-test their response plans against a threat that moves as fast as the technology behind it."
