Overview

VanishID, rebranded from Picnic Corporation, provides agentic AI-powered digital executive protection for enterprises. The company continuously monitors and reduces exposure to open-source intelligence (OSINT) to extend security beyond the corporate perimeter. Its offerings include CEO Protection, which provides personal device and social media impersonation protection and can extend to up to 25 family members or close associates. VanishID was founded by CEO Matt Polak. The company announced a $10M funding round and plans to use the proceeds to invest in go-to-market efforts. It also intends to extend its capabilities in agentic AI remediations that protect organizations and their key employees. Picnic is a social engineering prevention and detection platform that continuously monitors an organization’s online digital footprint and public data from over 1,000 sources. The platform analyzes whether an attacker could use gathered information to create scams and shows what data an attacker could collect on employees from social media, data brokers, breach repositories, and the dark web. Picnic identifies publicly available open‑source intelligence (OSINT) so organizations can remove it and deny attackers reconnaissance data. Its preventative approach aims to stop attackers from assembling public information to target employees with phishing, impersonation, business email compromise, and identity theft. Founder Matt Polak describes social engineering as the single largest and most challenging problem in cybersecurity and positions Picnic as an integrated, enterprise‑wide solution distinct from security awareness training providers.
