    #93. Digital Executive Protection: Why Your C-Suite Is the Weakest Link in Cybersecurity with BlackCloak

    Ahead of Black Hat 2026, Joel Witts, Content Director at Expert Insights, talks with Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, about the growing risk facing corporate executives outside the four walls of the company, in their homes, personal accounts and family lives. Pierson is a former CISO, chief privacy officer, and longtime Department of Homeland Security advisor who founded BlackCloak and created the digital executive protection category. He explains why the millions companies spend on cybersecurity rarely extend to the personal lives of their executives, and why that gap has become a material business risk, from data broker exposure and personal account breaches to home networks that can be compromised despite passing 41 straight weeks of penetration testing. In this episode, they discuss: * Why executives and their family members are targeted through data brokers, breached passwords and public profiles, and how that access can lead back into the company * Real incidents BlackCloak has responded to, including a compromised home alarm and camera system and a virtual kidnapping scam built from social media activity * How live, real-time deepfake voice and video attacks have outpaced Zoom and Teams-based verification, and why attackers simply call an executive’s personal device instead * BlackCloak’s new circle of trust expansion, announced at Black Hat 2026, which extends out-of-band impersonation protection to trusted third parties like wealth advisors, attorneys and family staff * Why digital executive protection has to operate outside the company, structured more like a health benefit than a corporate security function, to protect both executive privacy and the business This is a public episode.

    #92. Fighting Back Against AI-Driven Phishing With Cofense

    Ahead of Black Hat 2026, Joel Witts, Content Director at Expert Insights, talks with Marc Olesen, CEO of Cofense, about how AI is reshaping the phishing threat landscape and what it takes to defend against it. Olesen joined Cofense in January 2025, bringing over 30 years of technology leadership from roles including CEO at TokenEx, President and CEO at Sift, and senior leadership positions at Splunk and McAfee. He explains why polymorphic phishing, where AI generates a unique variation of an attack with every email, has become the default delivery model for attackers, and why AI has cut the time to build a phishing attack from 16 hours to five minutes. In this episode, they discuss: * Why 88% of AI-generated phishing attacks are now unique, and what that means for signature and rules-based defenses * How business email compromise and OAuth/identity-based attacks still start with the inbox, even as phishing spreads to WhatsApp, Teams and other channels * Cofense’s post-perimeter approach: combining AI-driven detection with human-verified intelligence to neutralize reported threats in under 10 minutes * The “automation gap” between attacker and defender AI, and why a trained human layer will always be needed to close it * What the next 12 months of phishing could look like, from deepfakes and voice cloning to new email confirmation workflows * Olesen’s advice for security leaders building a defense-in-depth strategy against phishing This is a public episode.
