Washington, DC – April 22, 2025 – VanishID, the leader in agentic AI-powered digital executive protection for enterprises, today announced its rebrand from Picnic Corporation and the launch of a new CEO Protection offering designed specifically to protect Chief Executives and their families from the unique digital privacy and security risks. VanishID also announced a recent $10M investment led by Dell Technologies Capital and joined by Mark McLaughlin, former CEO and Chairman of Palo Alto Networks, with continued strong participation from Crosslink Capital, Rally Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, and Bright Pixel. LockStep Ventures also joined this funding round.
Public data exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) represents the digital breadcrumbs that enable cyberattacks, fraud, and physical threats against executives. No one is immune: over 93% of C-Suite executives have a home address exposed, and 99.97% have been involved in a data breach. VanishID offers the only fully automated solution that requires no effort from executives or security teams, no PII provided by end-users, and no integration with internal systems to deliver continuous removal of PII from the internet.
“People represent the largest unprotected attack surface in any enterprise. The distance between cybersecurity and employees’ physical safety is narrowing dangerously, and corporate leaders are taking action,” said Raman Khanna, Managing Director, Dell Technologies Capital. “The VanishID platform is powerful and differentiated. In a market that has traditionally been served by consumer solutions reliant on manual offshore labor, VanishID has created the first, enterprise-grade, agentic AI solution that solves this problem at scale.” Read rest here.
