Time: 11AM London
Over the past couple years, Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks have wreaked havoc on businesses from all industries and of all sizes around the world. One of the most notable examples being the Bangladesh Bank heist. As cybercriminals evolve however, they are starting to advance these tactics to create a new, more nefarious type of attack. This webinar will describe this new attack method, Business Process Compromise (BPC), and explain how cybercriminals’ understanding of how organisations process financial transactions is being used to increase their payout. While a BEC attack might yield a hundred thousand pounds by luring an innocent employee to transfer money to a criminal’s account, hacking directly into a financial transaction system could result in far greater financial windfalls for criminals.
Join this webinar to hear several real-world examples highlighting how BPC works and specific steps that your organisation can take to recognise and defend against Business Process Compromise. The speakers will demonstrate how security technologies like application control can lock down access to mission-critical terminals while endpoint protection detects malicious lateral movement.
