Business Email Imposters Protection

Safeguard Your Business from Deceptive Cyber Threats

Securing Your Organization with Confidence

Business email compromise (BEC) is one of the most damaging and financially costly cyber threats facing organizations today. Cybercriminals impersonate trusted executives, employees, or vendors to manipulate victims into sharing sensitive information or transferring funds. At Managed Technology, we offer specialized solutions to protect your business from email imposters, ensuring your communications and finances remain secure.

What Are Business Email Imposters?

Business email imposters are cybercriminals who use email to impersonate legitimate individuals within your organization or external partners. Their goal is to exploit trust, bypass security protocols, and execute fraudulent activities.

Common BEC Tactics Include:

  • Executive Impersonation: Pretending to be a CEO or high-level executive to request unauthorized wire transfers
  • Vendor Spoofing: Posing as a trusted vendor to send fake invoices or payment instructions
  • Employee Account Compromise: Gaining access to an employee’s email account to distribute malware or steal sensitive information
  • Gift Card Scams: Requesting gift cards under the guise of a corporate need

The Risks of Business Email Imposters

The financial and operational risks of BEC attacks can be devastating, including:

  • Significant Financial Loss: Fraudulent wire transfers can lead to the loss of thousands—or even millions—of dollars
  • Data Breaches: Imposters may gain access to sensitive business or client information
  • Operational Disruption: Resolving the aftermath of a BEC attack can halt productivity and divert critical resources
  • Reputational Damage: Falling victim to a BEC attack can erode trust with clients, partners, and stakeholders
