Executive assistants, personal email, mobile devices, social-media accounts, and public-facing websites are important attack surfaces. Appropriate controls include phishing-resistant multifactor authentication, hardened and managed devices, strict separation of personal and official communications, careful access delegation, and privacy protections for sensitive travel or family information. Threat intelligence can help identify campaigns aimed at the office, while vulnerability management should cover its internet-facing systems. Prepared incident-response procedures are particularly important because compromise may require rapid credential revocation, trusted public communication, preservation of evidence, and coordination with relevant government or organizational authorities.
