Monday 7 September 2026, 11am-12noon (BST)

In today’s connected world, the distinction between personal and organisational cyber risk is increasingly blurred. Threat actors routinely target executives, VIPs, and their families through a combination of cyber, physical, and social engineering techniques, exploiting personal devices, accounts, relationships, and online behaviours to gain intelligence and create pathways into organisations.

This webinar introduces the emerging discipline of Cyber Close Protection, a people-centric approach combining cybersecurity, protective intelligence, digital footprint management, and personal risk mitigation. We’ll explore how the compromise of personal devices, accounts, and digital identities can translate directly into organisational risk.

We also examine the role of individual behaviour in reducing exposure, drawing on techniques such as emotional relevance and procedural recall to encourage lasting security practices.

Through real-world examples and practical guidance, attendees will discover how protecting executives and VIPs beyond traditional enterprise boundaries can strengthen organisational resilience and reduce attack pathways.
