Results for tag: "Business Email Compromise"

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a type of cybercrime that targets organizations through email. It involves attackers impersonating a legitimate user or organization to gain access to sensitive information or financial resources. BEC attacks are often used to steal money, intellectual property, or confidential data. Attackers may also use BEC to gain access to a company's network or systems. BEC attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect. Attackers use social engineering techniques to gain access to accounts, such as phishing emails, spoofed emails, and malicious attachments. They may also use malware to gain access to a company's systems. BEC is a growing threat to organizations of all sizes. Companies must take steps to protect themselves from BEC attacks, such as implementing strong authentication measures, monitoring email traffic, and training employees on how to recognize and respond to suspicious emails. Companies in the BEC market include FireEye, Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and CrowdStrike. Show Less Read more
