To Protect Against Advanced Email Threats Requires A Different Technology & Approach

Business email compromise may have been a big issue before COVID, but in the past couple of years it’s grown exponentially. Not only have nefarious actors been raking in the money, but they’ve also changed tactics. In the early days of this threat, an actor would register a lookalike domain and hope an email from it would get through. Now 95% of this type of email is coming directly from a trusted coworker, vendor, or client accounts who’ve unknowingly put their credentials into a fake login form. Cracking down on this threat is harder when the source is someone you do business with. In this episode, Jeremy Schwarzrock, senior information security analyst at Alerus, gave us the rundown on how his team is putting protections in place to eliminate it.Show Links
