Escrow & Real Estate
This is a technical webinar focusing on the real estate that will dissect the most prevalent processes that cybercriminals are using to lure home buyers, escrow agents, closing agents, real estate lawyers, title insurance agents, and others into sending closing funds to criminal accounts accidentally.

These practitioners will expose the latest cybercriminal tactics, and the solutions that they are today employing to detect and pre-empt these cybercrimes in progress; before the steal.
