In a world where scammers increasingly exploit human error over technology as a means of gaining initial access, digital supply chains built on trusted business relationships have come under attack. Threat actors see these relationships as a vulnerability they can profit from, posing as your vendors through email to target your people and put your organization at risk.

Attacks that compromise and impersonate your suppliers, such as domain spoofing or vendor email compromise (VEC), can result in significant financial losses and damage to your brand's reputation. In fact, data breaches involving supply chain compromise cost more than $4.75 million on average, 11% more than those that don't (according to the IBM 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report).

In this one-hour session, we will discuss:

•  The latest impersonation tactics used to weaponize your suppliers
•  The role of human-centric security in mitigating and managing supplier risk
•  How to build continuous detection into your strategy to stop attacks before they start

Attendees are eligible to receive 1 CPE credit.
