Featuring a discussion with: Brian Krebs |

Business email compromise (BEC), supply chain fraud, credential phishing, and ransomware are top of mind for security professionals. With the shift from broad, low-impact attacks like spam to more targeted, high-value attacks that use impersonation to trick end-users, the threat landscape is changing. In many cases, a carefully-crafted, text-based email can dupe your employees into wiring hundreds of thousands of dollars into an overseas bank account or installing malware on the company network.
Join us for this webinar with Brian Krebs, former columnist for The Washington Post and author of Spam Nation, and Abnormal CISO Mike Britton, as they discuss the most dangerous attacks impacting organizations today. The two will also discuss questions such as:
• How has cybercrime shifted over the past decade, and why has email been elevated as the main vector for attack?
• Why are these attacks so successful at bypassing traditional solutions?
• How are modern email attacks evolving, and what will the next big threat be?
• What can individuals and organizations do to protect themselves from cyberattacks?
With new insights from Brian Krebs himself, this is an event that you won't want to miss. Note that this event will not be recorded; please plan to attend live.
Attendees are eligible to receive 1 CPE credit.
