The Problem
Misconfigured network & outdated router
The executive routinely accessed corporate systems from a home network shared with family devices, smart cameras, and unmanaged IoT gadgets. An assessment revealed an unsegmented network, outdated router firmware, default credentials on smart devices, and personal logins reused across work accounts — any one of which could become a doorway into the corporate environment.
BlackCloak steps in
BlackCloak re-architected the home network, isolating work traffic from family and IoT devices, updating firmware, and replacing default credentials with strong unique passwords. The team deployed endpoint protection across the executive’s devices, enabled multifactor authentication on critical accounts, and aligned the home setup with the standards expected of the corporate environment.
The Result
The Client’s home and corporate networks are now cleanly separated and monitored for threats, eliminating the lateral path attackers had hoped to exploit. The executive works remotely with confidence, and the company’s CISO gains assurance that the leader’s personal environment no longer poses a risk to corporate data.
