Session
The Human Attack Surface: From Exposure to Protection
Today's threat landscape no longer stops at the network perimeter — a leaked home address or a data broker profile can just as easily lead to a physical security incident as a cyberattack. This session explores how proactive digital exposure management has become a critical, often overlooked layer of executive and enterprise protection strategy, closing the gap between traditional cybersecurity investments and the personal attack surface of executives and high-profile employees.

Attendees will learn how 360 Privacy partners with organizations to continuously monitor, remove, and manage exposed personal data across the open and dark web — giving security teams a proactive, human-enabled defense rather than a reactive one. Whether building an executive protection program from scratch or expanding an MSSP/MSP portfolio, this session delivers a practical framework for evaluating digital footprint risk and a look at how 360 Privacy helps close that gap.
