Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a targeted cyber scam where criminals impersonate trusted contacts to divert payments or steal data. By exploiting trust and weak email security settings, attackers can cause severe financial and reputational damage.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds vital layers of protection by requiring users to verify their identity with more than just a password. By combining factors such as something you know, something you have, and something you are, MFA makes it significantly harder for attackers to gain unauthorised access. From SMS codes and authenticator apps to biometrics and hardware tokens, MFA reduces the risk of account compromise by over 99.9% when properly implemented, making it an essential defence in today’s cyber threat landscape.
