New Tools to Combat BEC: Visualize Who – Which Email Accounts – Cybercriminals are Eavesdropping On

Whether Your Staff or Their RECIPIENT'S Inbox, to Pre-empt Mis-Wiring Funds

We’ve entered a new pandemic, one of cybercriminals posing as you, your trusted clients, or carrier contacts, to lure you or they into sending (mis-sending) payments.

This cybercriminal trickery, often referred to as Business Email Compromise (BEC) has lured lawyers, escrow agents, payments staff, clients, and many, many others into sending $2 billion in error in the last year alone; mis-wiring and sending to the cybercriminal posing as a trusted colleague or client typically $10K to $250K per instance.

In this educational webinar, Michael Sampson, a leading BEC expert and tech analyst with Osterman Research, will provide a step-by-step walk through of how these targeted cybercriminal attacks play out, and RPost will showcase the latest in e-security that provides your staff the intelligence to thwart or pre-empt, after the cybercriminal hook is in, before the steal.

This is a must-see not only for you and your IT, Security, Risk, and Ops staff, but also for you to invite your HR, Payments and others who are in the sights of targeted cybercriminal attacks centered on the email vector. These cybercrimes are so successful as they often cut one party to a transaction out of the communication loop (siphoning off communications and posing as a participant in the transaction). Most don’t even know the money was sent to criminals for days or weeks after the mis-wire!

We know a lot of people talk about cybersecurity solutions and one might think they are protected from these cybercrimes by Microsoft or others. You and they are not. This session will showcase what we guarantee your current providers do not do --- all the while easy for you to enable.
