What is Business Email Compromise?

30th September 2019 | Training What is Business Email Compromise?

The FBI claims that over 50% of the 6 Trillion dollars lost to hackers and businesses is due to Business Email Compromise (aka: BEC).  That staggering statistic is what this video seeks to explain when it details what BEC is and how it is most often used to commit wire fraud.  This video also provides some practical advice to prevent BEC from impacting you and your business.

This video along with the others in our ‘Video Library’ are examples of what you can see when you use CyberHoot’s training platform. Our CyberHoot.com Library is not indicative of what exists in our Application Training Library as we have 600+ videos ready to assign for training in the system. Training videos inside the platform consist of Cybersecurity, PCI, HIPAA, Human Resources, ITAR, and various product training programs (QuickBooks, ADP, SalesForce, Teams, etc.). To see what else CyberHoot has to offer you can get started by heading to our homepage and scheduling a demo with our Co-Founder and cybersecurity expert, Craig Taylor. 

CyberHoot does have some other resources available for your use. Below are links to all of our resources, feel free to check them out whenever you like:
