Hashtag Realtalk with Aaron Bregg
Welcome to my little corner of the Internet!
In this channel I give 'real talk' about information security and technologies that impact both your business and personal lives. I try and focus on issues and items that can help you become more 'security curious'. The ultimate goal of help protect your personal and professional well being.

Episode 85 - Are You REALLY Protecting Your C-Suite and Board Well?
In this episode I go outside of the topics and talk about one that I think is definitely underrated, Protecting Your Executives. I sometime forget how lucky my healthcare organization is very forward thinking when it comes to security. However, not all companies have the luxury of having a full team to protect VIPs.
I had a chance to have an in-depth conversation with Daniel Floyd around this very subject. Daniel is the Chief Information Security Officer for BLACKCLOAK. BLACKCLOAK was one of the first companies to focus on Digital Executive Protection. Daniel shares some interesting stories about the crazy things that happen when protecting VIPs.
Talking Points:
- Why is it is important to protect executives outside of the corporate wall (CISO working on a Sunday example)
- When you need someone to 'Black Ops' outside of your org?
- Why are some Execs in denial about their being 'attackable'?
- What about new types of attacks like AI generated sound clips?
Episode Sponsor:
This episode is sponsored by BLACKCLOAK. BLACKCLOAK is a Digital Executive Protection for executives, high-profile, high-net-worth & ultra-high-net-worth individuals & families. They are based out of Orlando Florida.
