Email—you either love it or hate it. Cybercriminals love it. We all know that email is the attack vector of choice for hackers. Why? Bottom line, it works. And they really capitalize on it. There are many ways the bad guys go about compromising the network and getting what they want: spear phishing, BEC/CEO fraud attacks, W-2 scams, ransomware… the list goes on and on.

Email fraud is an expensive cybercrime for its victims. All it takes is one mistake, one erroneous mouse click of an email to let an attacker in. That is how it starts. Then attackers move around your email or network and learn more about your employees and company than you do. Eventually they strike—when the time is right. Do they get away with the cash? Or did you arm your employees with the tools and training they need to recognize email fraud and ransomware and stop a possible BEC attack?

On this web conference, our three experts will share real-world examples of these heinous crimes: what went down, how they got caught, what they got away with, and lessons learned.

Tune in and get an understanding of how these attacks work and what you can do to make it more difficult for hackers to fool your end-users.
