Executive Threat Analysis
Executive threat analysis is a focused intelligence assessment that maps how much information about a specific executive is publicly available, and shows how attackers would use that information for targeted phishing, impersonation, or business email compromise.
Targeted assessment of threats facing executives and high-value individuals.
What is Executive Threat Analysis?
Executive threat analysis is a specialized security assessment focused on high-value individuals within your organization. We evaluate the digital and physical exposure of executives to understand how attackers would target them specifically.
Executives are disproportionately targeted because they have authority to approve wire transfers, access sensitive data, and make decisions without questioning. Business email compromise attacks against executives cost organizations billions annually.
The human factor extends beyond the executive themselves. Family members, personal assistants, and close associates may also be targeted as a vector to reach the primary target. We assess this extended exposure as part of the analysis.
Why Executive Threat Analysis Matters
High-Value Targets
Executives have authority, access, and visibility that makes them prime targets for sophisticated, targeted attacks.
Digital Exposure
Professional profiles, speaking engagements, and social media create rich intelligence for attackers to exploit.
Proactive Protection
Understanding threats before attacks occur allows for protective measures that reduce risk significantly.
How Executive Threat Analysis Works
Intelligence gathering
We collect publicly available information: social media, news, speaking engagements, and relevant data broker traces.
Attack surface mapping
We map how the information can be weaponized for spear-phishing, BEC, impersonation, or physical targeting.
Scenario development
We create realistic scenarios showing how adversaries would likely target specific executives based on their exposure.
Protection recommendations
We provide actionable measures to reduce exposure and improve detection and response to targeting attempts.
What You Get
Each executive threat analysis produces a confidential report detailing the individual's exposure, likely attack scenarios, and specific protective recommendations. The report is delivered directly to the executive and designated security personnel.
We include practical steps for reducing digital footprint, protecting personal information, and detecting targeting attempts. Recommendations range from immediate actions to longer-term security improvements.
Our ethical hacking background means we think like attackers. We show you exactly how adversaries would weaponize available information, not just that information exists. This context makes recommendations more actionable.
