What should companies do about the gap between technical defenses and the human attack surface?
Matt Bigge, Partner at Crosslink Capital and U.S. Army Veteran, shared with us recently that his concern isn’t about firewalls or endpoint detection. The reality is threat actors are bypassing your perimeter entirely. They’re weaponizing the digital exhaust your executives leave across the internet.
Matt’s seen the threat landscape evolve from his days as an Army officer focused on physical security to decades investing in cybersecurity companies.
His perspective? “We’re living in a world where online attacks are becoming more common.”
That’s exactly why VanishID exists. We help organizations actually see and measure their social engineering exposure at the executive level.
