In a world where there are over 5.22 billion smartphone users, 4.9 billion social media users, 425 million smart home users’ and everything ‘syncs’, people are exposed to cybercrime in a manner that is unfathomable. Many organizations still struggle to put basic cybersecurity protections in place much less protections around their executive team against cybercrime. Top organization officials are targeted by cybercriminals and the attacks all begin around the cybercriminal’s intelligence gathering of the target’s digital footprint. We have all been given definitions of digital footprint that are incomplete and inaccurate. In this session learn what a person’s digital footprint is in its totality and how to protect against its nefarious usage and why organizations need to put in protections around top executives to ensure executive’s exposure to cybercrime is reduced effectively.
