Security Mayday: Leading the Charge on Ransomware and Business Email Compromise

Email is the number one form of communication in the world, so it comes as no surprise it’s also the number one attack vector for cyber criminals.
What is surprising, is how many organizations leave email unprotected. Phishing campaigns and business email compromise (BEC) cost organizations nearly $300 million per month and climbing.
• Check your radar- identify and defend against immediate phishing and BEC scams
• Evaluate your cockpit- a lesson in layered security tools
• Upgrade your weapons system- consolidate vendors and sharpen your spear
• Get your questions answered!
