Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a rising cyber threat affecting businesses and individuals. Scammers impersonate high-level executives or trusted partners, tricking recipients into making payments or transferring funds. With BEC attacks increasing by 81% in 2022 and a staggering 98% of employees failing to report them, it's crucial to take action. Educating employees, implementing email authentication protocols, deploying payment verification processes, checking financial transactions, establishing a response plan, and using advanced anti-phishing software are key strategies to protect against BEC and safeguard your business emails.
