Episode Details

When you think about the most costly threat to individual losses, most people will assume ransomware.

The real threat, however, is business email compromise (BEC). But why aren’t more companies talking about it, then?

In this episode, Tim Kromphardt, Email threat teacher at Proofpoint, and Jake G. explain BEC and why organizations need to start paying more attention.

Join us as we discuss:

• The definition of BEC & why companies are paying so little attention
