Business Email Compromise Resilience (BECR)

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a type of cybercrime using email to fraudulently convince companies to make unauthorised payments to criminals.

Phishing and spoofing are techniques to trick users to impart login credentials into fake areas impersonating a bank or a regularly used service.

BECR helps our clients fight this by alerting them to new phishing pages targeting their customers within the last 48hrs.

Customer, Business and Brand Protection

Businesses face many types of phishing attacks, the more common come in the form of SPAM mails, some more severe come in the form of spear phishing or whaling. Also known as CEO Fraud, this scam is exceptionally simple in its methodology and is one of the most lucrative forms of cybercrime for hackers. Often conducted without the need for technical skills; hackers are capable of circumventing even the most expensive and complex company security systems with just an email.

This is where larger corporations need to have established processes in pace to ensure that all staff are aware of these scenarios and know how to respond appropriately.

BECR Core Features

Attack Alerts

Your Early Warning System – BECR Alerts customers when attackers setup fraudulent landing pages imitating your web services.

Phishing Domain Alerts

Campaign Warning System – BECR scans for newly registered domains similar which could be used to launch phishing campaigns against you organisation.

BECR Phishing Alerts inform our clients of threat actor activity over the last 48hrs.

Cyber criminals will utilise poorly secure and compromised web services to host their own spoofed/fake copies of real business user login portals – in most cases, the site owners are completely unaware these pages exist. Then through numerous campaigns and methods, innocent customers will be directed to the fake login portals and tricked into giving up their account or login details.

BECR counters this by alerting the genuine business to the existence and locations of fake pages impersonating their services.
