New York (CNN Business) The world might be turning to technology to solve everything from traffic to dating, but no one app or gadget will save the rich and famous from falling prey to cyberattacks, according to digital security experts.
Tech giants spend millions of dollars every year to protect their top executives from all kinds of physical threats.
Facebook allotted almost $20 million in 2018 for protecting CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his family at his residences and during travel.
In 2017, Apple CEO Tim Cook started using private jets paid for by the company because of safety concerns.
But when a report concluded that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ phone was hacked , it shifted people’s attention to how high-profile people protect their cybersecurity.
“There’s no perfect tech control against cyberattacks,” said Roger Grimes, a security expert at KnowBe4 who trains its customers to raise cybersecurity awareness.

The rich and famous also can’t buy phones that are more secure than the average, said Mark Nunnikhoven, vice president of cloud research at software security firm Trend Micro.
