Blackbird.AI and BlackCloak Partner To Offer Comprehensive Executive Protection From Digital And Narrative Harm

The companies collaborate to protect customers from the tidal wave of online risks and threats.

NEW YORK and ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbird.AI, the leader in protecting executives and organizations from narrative attacks that cause financial, operational, and reputational harm, and BlackCloak, the pioneer in Digital Executive Protection for corporate leaders, high-net-worth individuals, and family offices, announced a partnership to jointly offer comprehensive digital and narrative protection from harmful activity online. The companies will combine BlackCloak's Executive Threat Assessments with Blackbird.AI's leading AI-based Narrative Intelligence to provide customers with a comprehensive cyber threat assessment report that combines a digital and narrative risk summary.

Executives and their families are increasingly being targeted. The attack surface for the company has dramatically shifted, and with that comes new risks. To stay one step ahead of converged physical and cyber threats, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and Chief Security Officers (CSOs) seek to evolve their protective and defensive tools.

Blackbird.AI's leadership in creating the industry's most valued AI-based Narrative Intelligence Platform enables executives and organizations to understand the harmful narratives targeting them, who is behind them, the networks they infect, the anomalous (bot) behavior that scales them, and the cohorts and communities that connect and amplify them. This has enabled customers to understand the narrative and make better strategic decisions to reduce risk significantly. BlackCloak's pioneering of the first Digital Executive Protection platform has enabled the protection of executives and their families beyond the company's four walls.

"When the Blackbird.AI and BlackCloak teams met for the first time, we immediately identified that our combined expertise, technological innovation, and depth of services would holistically protect executives against the onslaught of digital and narrative attacks," said Wasim Khaled, CEO and Co-founder of Blackbird.AI. "The risk to these individuals and their families has grown exponentially. Working together, we can help them stay better protected."

"Protecting the privacy and cybersecurity of corporate executives and their families is paramount these days. BlackCloak's Digital Executive Protection platform continues to grow and will add narrative protection to our executive threat assessment offerings," said Dr. Chris Pierson, CEO and Founder of BlackCloak. "Our clients are asking for a more comprehensive analysis of their executive teams' digital footprint and this partnership enhances our ability to protect the personal digital lives of our clients. We remain steadfast in our mission to set new standards in personal cybersecurity."

The partnership comes together at a critical time. For the second consecutive year, the World Economic Forum ranked narrative attacks created by misinformation, disinformation, and cyber espionage among the top global risks.

"The evolving digital landscape has blurred the lines between cybersecurity, executive, and narrative protection, and we expect CISOs to play a significant role in mitigating these threats," said Ed Amoroso, CEO and Founder of TAG Cyber. "BlackCloak and Blackbird.AI are two companies we have been tracking for years that substantially reduce the risk to senior executives. To address this new threat vector, their services are now a must-have."

Key executive and company targeting use cases include protection against social impersonation, phishing, business email compromise, physical risks, brand protection, AI-manipulated deepfakes, information manipulation, and social media attacks. Customers can get started by accessing a free trial to Blackbird.AI's Compass Context product. Over time, BlackCloak will integrate certain services through Blackbird.AI's API into the BlackCloak mobile Digital Executive Protection application.

The three companies are holding a Security Week Webinar about 'Protecting Executives and Enterprises from Digital, Narrative and Physical Attacks' on March 12th at 1:00 pm eastern. To register, sign up here.
