About this talk

Highly-targeted, low volume spear phishing--or business email compromise (BEC)--attacks that impersonate executives and business partners to trick employees are the biggest cyber threat organisations face today. This is not news. But what may come as a surprise is that the vast majority of BEC attacks are preventable. According to Gartner, Secure Email Gateways are struggling to address social engineering attacks with no payload. But things are changing. New technology can now surpass people and process initiatives to proactively protect email channels, while also removing the guesswork for users. In this webinar, you’ll learn: - Why email spoofing works - What the current BEC trends and attack methods are - How Proofpoint’s new Email Fraud Defense solution can identify and block BEC attacks before they hit the inbox
