Protect executives and board members from coordinated targeting

Executives and directors are now direct targets. Coordinated campaigns attack named individuals to damage reputation, pressure decisions, or destabilise a company through its leadership. These attacks often begin on the fringes and are amplified by inauthentic accounts long before they reach mainstream attention, which is exactly when intervention is cheapest and most effective.

Signal monitors for coordinated targeting of specific people, scoring the behaviour and coordination of the accounts involved rather than just volume or sentiment. It attributes the activity, showing the network driving it, and correlates that network across platforms, so a campaign that jumps from one channel to another is still tracked as a single operation.

For general counsel, security and communications, this means early, evidenced awareness, the ability to brief the individual and the board with facts, and a clear basis for escalation, takedown requests or law-enforcement engagement. Verdicts are deterministic and explainable, suitable for legal and executive audiences who need more than a sentiment chart.

Deepfake impersonation is part of the attack

Executive impersonation now includes AI-generated video and voice. A synthetic clip of a leader, or a cloned voice, can be used to move money, damage a reputation or seed a false narrative, and it is convincing enough that staff, customers and markets act on it. Signal adds content-authenticity detection, so the media targeting your executives and brand can be scanned and scored, not only monitored for mentions. To understand the threat, see what is a deepfake and how deepfake detection works.

The exposure is measurable:

• US$25 million - transferred after a deepfake video call impersonated a company’s CFO (widely reported, Arup).
• 75% - of organisations experienced at least one deepfake-related incident in the past 12 months (Ironscales).
• 41% - of executive-protection respondents reported deepfake incidents targeting their executives (BlackCloak / Ponemon).

Authenticity inside your brand monitoring. Media collected in Signal’s brand and executive monitoring is scanned for AI manipulation, and the authenticity verdict is surfaced alongside the behavioural signals. You see whether the media driving a campaign is real in the same place you see who is amplifying it.

On-demand media scanning. A suspicious image or clip circulating about your executive can be scanned directly for a verdict in seconds through Defend, returning an authenticity band and a per-signal breakdown.

One threat, one platform. The same platform that detects coordinated narrative manipulation targeting your organisation now verifies whether the media driving those narratives is real. Deepfakes and narrative attacks are one threat, and they are handled in one place.
