Three Tips for Management:
1. Train and communicate relentlessly.
Share news of possible breaches and “near misses” with employees so that all can be on the lookout.
2. Establish a culture and policy that encourages and empowers employees to be cautious. Fear and urgency are powerful motivators in virtually all impostor attacks. Let employees know they will never be in trouble for questioning a request via email – and, in fact, establish
a protocol for verifying and approving any requests like this outside of email.
3. Improve your company’s protection with automated security. The best way to prevent a breach is to stop an impostor email from ever getting to the inbox in
the first place. According to Aberdeen’s report, “Reducing the risk of Phishing Attacks”, an incremental investment in advanced email and web security results in a median reduction of phishing attacks of about 85% -- and delivers a median ROI of about 11.7 times. Leading cloud-based
security solutions are combining speed, visibility and scale to better detect and protect organizations faster and better than legacy security appliances.
With BEC on the rise, a combination of awareness, vigilance and security is critical to stopping the attacks. In order to stay ahead, executives must take a few simple steps to modify their security approach to prevent a breach - your company and customers are depending on you.
