Cyber Attack Prevention
- Remove Employee Personal Data.
- Reduce Cyber Risk.
- Protect Your Organization.
Eliminate the exposed personal data attackers use to plan and execute cyberattacks.
The Threat Landscape
Most cyberattacks begin with reconnaissance, long before malware is deployed or alerts are triggered. According to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, adversaries conduct pre-attack intelligence gathering to understand their targets, including organizational structure and employee information.
Multiple threat actors have been documented using data broker sites as part of their reconnaissance process.
Threat actors use this data to:
- Identify employees, roles, and reporting structures
- Select high-value targets such as IT staff, executives, and long-tenured employees
- Combine exposed PII with leaked credentials to take over accounts
- Launch business email compromise, executive impersonation, and targeted fraud
- Tailor phishing, smishing, vishing, credential harvesting, and ransomware attacks
Optery removes this exposed personal data more comprehensively than any other service, disrupting a critical pre-attack phase of cyber operations.
This form of defensive cyber counterintelligence limits the information available to adversaries, making attacks harder to execute and prompting attackers to move on to easier targets.

Security, Risk & Compliance
Alignment
Optery supports cyber risk reduction by addressing exposed personal data as part of the external threat landscape:
NIST CSF 2.0: Supports Identify and Protect functions by reducing external personal-data exposure used in adversary reconnaissance.
ISO 27001: Enhances risk management and threat mitigation by addressing people-based attack vectors.
CIS Controls v8: Supports Controls 14 (Security Awareness) and 5 (Account Management) by reducing exploitable employee data.
SOC 2 Type II Attestation: Demonstrates that Optery securely processes, stores, and protects sensitive personal data.

Real-World Results
“When I’m trying to find someone, as any OSINT course will tell you, the first place you’re going to go to is a data broker site and try to expand the profile of the person you are trying to get information on.”
“There’s so many things you can do with the data that’s out there on someone. If I have a name, an email, a location, I’m gonna then go see what data has been breached in connection with this info, then I’m going to be able to break into their accounts and target them in a variety of ways.”
“We have some extremely sensitive clients, and I mean extremely sensitive clients, and we trust Optery to go out and clean up what’s out there as much as humanly possible.”
“Post-Optery, it is definitely harder to hunt and target someone.”
