BlackCloak continues to transform the way
corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals protect their personal
information online with its advanced, continuous data removal technology and
services. In a world where personal data is increasingly exposed and exploited
to harm, BlackCloak empowers its clients to regain control over their online
presence by identifying and suppressing sensitive information from hundreds of
data broker websites.
The
advanced technology, now part of BlackCloak's Digital Executive Protection
Platform, scans the internet to uncover where personal data is being collected,
stored, and sold to ensure clients' exposure on the internet is as small as
possible. The technology, backed by a dedicated team of privacy and
cybersecurity experts, then diligently removes that information from data
broker databases and other publicly available locations, reducing the risk of
misuse.
Data Suppression, including Google
Search
The
combined strength of the technology with BlackCloak's cybersecurity concierge
team, includes not only receiving alert notifications via the BlackCloak app
when information has been compromised online but also ensuring that clients can
take immediate action to reduce potential damage. Once an alert is received,
BlackCloak provides comprehensive support and coverage, including enabling
clients to execute a password reset quickly, set up dual-factor
authentication, implement encrypted password vaults, and even help clients
add a pin to an IRS account, as a few examples.
Google Home Blurring
The
BlackCloak mobile app now allows clients to request Google to remove their
homes' imagery from its Street View data. Street View provides up-close details
of a house that attackers use in real-world extortion emails as part of a
social engineering attack targeting executives or their families. By automating
the removal of this detailed view from Street View, we are able to reduce
clients' digital footprints, providing less information in the public domain
for attackers to exploit.
"We
are committed to making the digital lives of our members safer by putting the
power to control personal data back in their hands," said Matt Covington, VP of
Product at BlackCloak. "BlackCloack is special because we not only put an
effective, transparent, easy-to-use technology in the hands of our members, we
also provide them with a high touch, personal concierge service. Together, we
can address the growing challenges of online privacy. We believe everyone has
the right to privacy, and we are here to protect that right."
