Protection against email attacks: solutions from Trend Micro

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a significant cyber threat where attackers send deceptive emails appearing to come from trusted sources, manipulating victims into transferring money or divulging information. BEC often lacks links or attachments, making detection challenging for traditional security systems.

Key Challenges of BEC Attacks

• Personalization and Deception: Attackers craft highly personalized emails by researching the target’s organization and executives, making these fraudulent emails appear legitimate and hard to identify.
• Spoofing and Social Engineering: Attackers use spoofing to fake email addresses and social engineering to exploit human trust, bypassing traditional security systems.
• Limitations of Traditional Security: Traditional filters and virus scanners often fail to detect BEC attacks since they lack malicious content, allowing these threats to evade detection.
