Business Email Compromise and Defense
February 23, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm UTC-7

Email has become the backbone of modern business communication, but it’s also a primary target for cybercriminals. Business Email Compromise (BEC) continues to rise, despite increased awareness of the threat. The individuals behind these scams have perfected their tactics, utilizing sophisticated technical tools, creating a sense of urgency, and exploiting fear to trick users into sending funds or disclosing sensitive information.
What makes BEC even more dangerous is the prevalence of hybrid workforces, which provide attackers with more opportunities to succeed. The shift to remote and flexible work environments has increased the vulnerability of email systems, making it essential for businesses to stay ahead of evolving threats.
