‘BEC’ is Huge Cyber Threat
Carlton Fields cybersecurity attorney Christina Gagnier authored an article in LEVICK’s “Cybersecurity & Privacy” e-book titled, “‘BEC’ is Huge Cyber Threat,” on the hazard of business email compromise (BEC), a commonly overlooked cybersecurity threat.
In instances of this compromise, a single email and subsequent employee response can risk the entire company, potentially causing a chain reaction of consequences.
Gagnier suggests several steps to ensure better business email safety, including using multifactor authentication mechanisms, training team members, creating clear guidelines on information sharing, and continually monitoring potential cybersecurity threats.
