Battling Business Email Compromise with Abnormal Security's CISO Mike Britton - #73

We have spent a lot of time talking about Ransomeware, and a main attack vector is phishing emails, but there is another very large problem that comes from malicious emails and that is BEC or Business Email Compromise. In fact, the FBI's IC3 reported that there were more than 4.2 billion in losses tied to cyber crime in 2020, and BEC accounted for 60% of that.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt with Sandesh Patel, welcome to another FUTRtech video podcast.
