Business Email Compromise (BEC): Neutralizing Corporate Fraud
The Threat Landscape Business Email Compromise (BEC) represents one of the most financially damaging forms of cyber-enabled fraud, targeting organizations of all sizes. These schemes involve sophisticated impersonation—often of senior executives, suppliers, or vendors—to facilitate unauthorized fund transfers. Tactics include payroll diversion, where a scammer impersonates an employee to change banking details, or invoice fraud, where a legitimate supplier’s email is spoofed to redirect high-value payments. Because these scams rely on social engineering rather than just technical exploits, they often bypass traditional security filters.
