Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, will open the RSAC 2025 Personal Cybersecurity track with a session addressing vulnerabilities in executives' personal digital lives, providing actionable steps to enhance security at home.
ORLANDO, Fla., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BlackCloak, the pioneer in Digital Executive Protection for executive leaders, board members, and their families as well as family offices and high-net-worth individuals, announces that its Founder and CEO, Dr. Chris Pierson, will open the RSAC 2025 Personal Cybersecurity track with his session "Protecting What Matters Most - Your Family & Home" to highlight the dangers faced by corporations from the exposure presented by executives in their personal digital life.
As a respected voice in cybersecurity and privacy, and often tapped to provide his opinion on news channels such as The New York Times, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, CNBC, Schwab Network, and more, Dr. Pierson brings decades of expertise and unmatched insights to this year's event, promising interactive discussions and actionable solutions for those attending each of the sessions.
"As a two-time CISO, Chris saw a major gap in an organization's ability to protect itself from the vulnerabilities introduced by executives' personal digital lives and his answer was to launch BlackCloak. He is not only a cybersecurity and privacy expert but an innovator and thought leader who provides succinct and actionable insights to the cybersecurity community," said Tracey Moon, Chief Marketing Officer for BlackCloak. "His sessions at RSAC 2025 offer attendees a rare and unique opportunity to interact with Chris, gaining access to his technical expertise and strategic foresight in two different but important areas: their personal digital lives and critical infrastructure."
Session1: Protecting What Matters—Your Family & Home
The session will take place on Monday, April 28, 2025 between 8:30 AM and 9:20 AM PT.
It will address an often-overlooked dimension of cybersecurity: the vulnerabilities that reach beyond the corporate perimeter and into an executive's home. Dr. Pierson will discuss the risks posed by smart home technology, identity theft, and digital scams, while providing attendees with real-world examples and actionable steps to mitigate these threats. Participants will leave equipped with strategies to extend cybersecurity protections to their families and homes. The session is sponsored by The Aspen Institute.
Dr. Pierson will also lead a second session, focused on the global supply chain.
Session 2: When Things Go Boom! Your Supply Chain Risk
This interactive Learning Lab will take place on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM PT and will be co-presented with James Shreve, a partner with Troutman Pepper Locke LLP. Dr. Pierson and Shreve will take a deep dive into the ever-growing risks associated with global supply chains. With every business relying on third-party suppliers, understanding and mitigating these risks is critical. This session will allow participants to collaborate in teams, exploring innovative approaches to assessing suppliers, reducing vulnerabilities, and achieving business goals—all while bolstering cybersecurity defenses.
Why Dr. Chris Pierson Stands Out
With a career that spans legal, technological, and corporate cybersecurity leadership, Dr. Pierson has been at the forefront of defending against digital threats. His professional journey includes serving as CISO for financial technology firms, Chief Privacy Officer for the U.S. operations of the Royal Bank of Scotland, and a member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Subcommittee and Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee. As the founder of BlackCloak, Dr. Pierson's vision focuses on protecting the personal digital lives of executives, high-net-worth individuals, and their families.
Dr. Pierson's career has been defined by a dedication to advancing the field of cybersecurity and privacy. He has testified before Congress, contributed to pivotal industry standards, and advised government agencies on critical infrastructure and emerging threats. As a practitioner, legal expert, and founder of a pioneering cybersecurity company focused on protecting the personal digital lives of high profile individuals, his insights bridge the gap between theory and practical implementation.
