A Holistic Approach to Defending Business Email Compromise (BEC) Attacks

In 2019, the FBI estimated that the global loss of Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks amounted to a staggering 26 Billion USD. As a response to the ongoing threat my team and I developed an extensive but non-exhaustive guide for any cyber security professional conducting a BEC investigation. In this highly practical presentation I will use real life cases of BEC attacks that I have worked on and show you the latest methods threat actors use to compromise an email environment. I will also show you how you can use our guide to structure your detection and response covering the various phases of a BEC attack to give you a change of spotting a threat actor before it is too late. After this presentation you will want to start checking your own email environment for threats.

Korstiaan efforts in responding to BEC are very useful to the DFIR, there is a lack around that part and Korstiaan and his team did a good job filling this gap.

Maybe a talk ask; is there a way these could be also be posted as podcasts? I say this because I like to play these on mobile while I’m doing stuff and listening in background.
