Blackbird.AI and BlackCloak Team Up to Shield Executives From Digital and Narrative Attacks

The digital landscape has grown more treacherous for corporate executives, high-net-worth individuals, and business leaders. As cyber threats and information campaigns escalate, two industry leaders—Blackbird.AI and BlackCloak—have joined forces to provide comprehensive protection from digital risks and narrative attacks.

Blackbird.AI, a leader in AI-driven narrative intelligence, and BlackCloak, a pioneer in executive digital protection, announced a strategic partnership to safeguard individuals from the expanding web of online threats. The collaboration brings together expertise in cybersecurity, AI-powered threat analysis, and executive protection to counteract the risks posed by social engineering, impersonation, phishing, and manipulated digital content.

LEARN: What Is Narrative Intelligence?

A Converging Threat Landscape

The partnership reflects an urgent need for organizations and cybersecurity teams to adopt proactive measures to protect executives and business leaders. In recent years, narrative attacks—false or misleading narratives designed to damage reputations, manipulate public perception, and destabilize businesses—have surged. Blackbird.AI’s Narrative Intelligence Platform identifies and analyzes these attacks, identifying their origins, amplification networks, and the bot-driven activity that fuels their spread.

“When we first met with the BlackCloak team, we recognized an immediate opportunity to merge our capabilities,” said Wasim Khaled, CEO and co-founder of Blackbird.AI. “Threat actors are targeting executives and their families at an unprecedented scale. Our combined expertise in digital risk protection and narrative intelligence will provide a more robust defense against digital and narrative attacks.”

BlackCloak’s platform delivers personalized cybersecurity and privacy protection for corporate leaders, integrating real-time monitoring and mitigation strategies. The company’s services extend beyond corporate networks, protecting against identity theft, financial fraud, and social media-based threats.

“We are honored to collaborate with Blackbird.AI to address the growing demand for narrative protection,” said Dr. Chris Pierson, CEO and founder of BlackCloak. “This partnership strengthens our ability to secure the personal digital lives of our clients while reinforcing our mission to establish new benchmarks in executive cybersecurity.”

Strategic Benefits for Clients

As part of the partnership, Blackbird.AI and BlackCloak will deliver clients a combined digital and narrative threat assessment report. The report will highlight how narrative attacks amplify cybersecurity vulnerabilities and physical risks. This research will equip executives and cybersecurity teams with the intelligence to reduce risks. Additionally, Blackbird.AI will provide free trial access to its Compass Context product, enabling clients to assess real-time threats to their reputations and businesses.

Future integration plans include embedding Blackbird.AI’s AI-driven risk assessments into BlackCloak’s mobile application, providing seamless access to narrative intelligence insights. This will enable users to receive updates and recommendations as new threats emerge.

A Critical Moment for Executive Protection

The collaboration comes as global risk assessments highlight the dangers of narrative attacks and cyber threats. The World Economic Forum has ranked narrative attacks as the top global threat facing businesses and governments worldwide for the second year in a row. Narrative threats often originate from highly coordinated influence operations. Adversaries amplify AI-driven false narratives using deepfakes, manipulated information, bot networks, troll farms, and compromised media outlets. Organizations that lack tools to identify coordinated amplification can risk underestimating the severity of these threats. Organizations must respond with equally sophisticated countermeasures as cybercriminals and nation-state actors refine their tactics and use AI to do financial, operational, physical, and reputational harm.

“The digital landscape has erased traditional boundaries between cybersecurity and executive protection,” said Ed Amoroso, CEO and founder of TAG Cyber. “CISOs are now expected to mitigate a spectrum of threats beyond technical vulnerabilities. Blackbird.AI and BlackCloak offer complementary solutions that significantly reduce risk exposure for senior executives.”
