Business Email Compromise Attacks are Hard to Detect
We've all seen it- threat actors compromise accounts or impersonate executives to send fraudulent wire transfer requests, payroll redirection emails, and other malicious, text-based attacks that trick end users and evade traditional security defences. The tough reality is that they're becoming harder to detect, landing in your inbox more frequently and with greater sophistication than ever before.
Business email compromise is the most financially devastating cybercrime costing $2.4 billion and making up 35% of all losses due to cybercrime in 2021. Businesses now need a proactive, smart solution to prevent sophisticated socially-engineered attacks that lack traditional indicators of compromise and evade secure email gateways.
The Abnormal Advantage
Attackers use email to target and exploit your organization’s greatest vulnerability: humans. People trust digital communications, which makes everyone more susceptible to deception. In addition, the shift to cloud email has increased opportunities for attackers, while generative AI adds sophistication and scale. Combined with the interconnected nature of cloud apps, protecting the human vulnerability is even more critical.
Traditional gateway-based architectures rely on threat intelligence modeling, which can only detect previously seen threats. This approach is blind to zero-day attacks that leverage business context to personalize content and more effectively target your organization. As a result, an AI-native, API-based platform is required to stop email attacks today.
