A Their Story conversation with Sean Martin, Marco Ciappelli, and BlackCloak CEO and founder, Chris Pierson with CyberSecurity and CISO veteran, Joel Fulton
It is not the first, nor the last, time we suggest studying our history to learn about our present and imagine the future. To get a view for how society reacts to scams and cons, we can look to the past for education, perhaps some inspiration, and maybe even some guidance. Yes, even when looking at cybersecurity and the video game industry.
In this new chapter of the BlackCloak story, we get to dive into a new report the team put together, looking at the world of gaming as the source of risk, threats, and compromise. And, to our liking, we got to use the report's findings to take a look back in time (way back, in fact), such that we can connect the dots between humanity, psychology, and security (cyber and not).
Listen in. Go back in time with us. And prepare for the future. Remember, while the report is about gaming — this isn't a game.

Balancing protection, responsibility, and liability for the safety of the employees and the safeguarding of company assets.
It may seem obvious and straightforward that there are clear lines between work time and personal time — work devices and personal devices — work networks and personal networks … and so on. It was never that simple before the work-from-home phenomenon and it’s only gotten even more complicated since.
In this three-part conversation, we’ll be looking at what it means to protect the employee as a means to protect the business. We will look at what may not be obvious for most organizations: how and where companies draw their lines of protection between their business and their employees matter. Get the responsibility lines drawn correctly and the business revenue and growth can be protected. Draw the protection line(s) incorrectly and you could be introducing liability can be added to the overall corporate risk profile.

A Their Story conversation with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Christopher Pierson
Succeeding in the information security market takes a lot more than building a better mousetrap. The market must be ready for the solution—finding value and willing to pay for the it—and the team must be capable of surviving a financial runway that supports a return for their investors. Looks like BlackCloak is on the right track for all of the above.
In this podcast, Dr. Pierson walks us through some of the high level threat trends and specific threat activity he and his team are seeing and monitoring as they protect executives and high net worth individuals when and where their business cyber protections stop— in their home and in their everyday life. From home printers being hijacked to cyber extortion, everything is fair game for cyber criminals.
No need to take our word for it. Press play and listen to Dr. Pierson telling us about this new chapter in the BlackCloak story.
