The Digital Executive Protection Pioneer Taps Industry Expert Darrin Curtis to Oversee the Program

ORLANDO, Fla., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackCloak, the pioneer of Digital Executive Protection (DEP) for corporate leaders, board members, and Family Offices, announced the hiring of Darrin Curtis to expand its public sector program.

As Managing Director of Public Sector at BlackCloak, Curtis brings more than 30 years of experience in technology, and more than 20 years in cybersecurity and the public sector, to expand the company's established program that protects high-profile politicians, government officials, and their families from increasing cyber threats in their personal digital lives.

The hire comes amid an increase in attacks against public governmental figures, from Capitol Hill to federal departments and judges.

"Having Darrin join the team signifies our unique ability to answer the needs of the market as targeted attacks from global and domestic threat actors against politicians and other public figures in government continue to rise," said Rob Duncan, Chief Revenue Officer at BlackCloak. "Darrin's extensive knowledge of the global threat landscape and understanding of how to navigate this often complex environment will help provide the protection necessary to keep those most highly targeted in government safe."

"Having the full support of this organization and being able to help facilitate this mission that has a real, measurable impact was extremely alluring to me," said Curtis. "I'm excited to apply my knowledge and years of experience into how this ecosystem operates to showcase BlackCloak's DEP Platform, extending enterprise-grade protection to the personal lives of high-profile government officials who routinely find themselves in the crosshairs of sophisticated threats."

Curtis previously led federal and public sector departments at F5, Okta, Menlo Security, and Trend Micro (now TrendAI). At Menlo Security, Curtis oversaw a significant contract with the U.S. Department of Defense, resulting in a full deployment of 3.45 million users. In his various roles, Curtis has built programs from the ground up, and has conducted both overhauls and expansions, displaying the expertise needed as BlackCloak sharpens its focus to safeguard government and public sector leaders.

BlackCloak addresses the security gap that exists in the personal lives of these public figures through four pillars of protection that make up their Digital Executive Protection Platform: Privacy & Identity Defense, AI Threat Protection, Executive Threat Intelligence, and Personal Security Operations. As cybercriminal tactics grow in sophistication, BlackCloak's tech-forward approach keeps pace, ensuring that privacy, personal devices, and home networks remain secure.
