About this talk

Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks continue to be a significant and evolving threat to organizations of all sizes. These attacks often involve impersonating high-level executives, vendors, or trusted contacts within an organization to manipulate recipients into complying with fraudulent requests, including transferring funds, sharing sensitive information, or taking actions that benefit the attackers. According to Gartner “73% of organizations reported at least one BEC attempt in 2023, with financial losses estimated by the FBI at $2.9 billion”.
