The New Threat Vector: Narrative Attacks on Global Organizations and Their Executives

Traditional cyber defense focuses on securing systems, networks, and data—but a new threat vector facing organizations and executives remains unprotected: perception. Narrative attacks created by misinformation, disinformation, and deepfakes now target global brands and their leaders to do financial, reputational, operational, and even physical harm. Are your cybersecurity teams prepared? 

This conversation between Chris Konrad, Vice President of Global Cyber at World Wide Technology (WWT), and Wasim Khaled, CEO and Co-Founder of Blackbird.AI, explores how narrative intelligence is redefining what it means to be cyber-resilient. Together, they’ll discuss how perception-driven risk impacts decision-making, market confidence, and trust, and why executives and cybersecurity leaders must now consider narrative attacks as part of the threat surface.

Attendees will gain insight into how narrative intelligence reduces the risk of executives targeting, bank runs, breaches and fake breaches, M&A disruptions, critical infrastructure, healthcare, geopolitical risk, brand cancellations, and boycotts, and how integrating these insights into tabletop exercises and cyber resilience can transform crisis response from reactive to resilient.
