Never trust an email

What is Business Email Compromise?

A Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a type of cyber-attack where a Threat Actor uses social engineering techniques to gain access to a business email account. They can then use this access to send fraudulent emails that trick employees, customers or partners into transferring money or sensitive information to the cybercriminal.

Having an incident response team to investigate a BEC is important because we can quickly identify the source of the breach, determine the extent of the damage, and take steps to contain and mitigate the attack. We can also help you to identify vulnerabilities in your email security systems and implement stronger safeguards to prevent future attacks.
