What do you do about wire fraud and business email compromise?

Almost every wire fraud loss in this industry starts the same way: someone's mailbox is accessed, the attacker reads quietly for days or weeks to learn the deal and the language, then sends payment instructions at exactly the right moment. Nothing about it looks like an attack while it is happening.

What we put in place:

• Multi factor authentication on every account, with legacy authentication protocols disabled so it cannot be bypassed
• External auto-forwarding blocked at the tenant level, because exfiltration by forwarding rule is the standard playbook
• SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured so your domain is harder to spoof to your own clients and agents
• External sender marking so a lookalike domain does not read like an internal message
• Lookalike domain monitoring for your own name
• Security log monitoring tuned for the specific indicators described in the next article
• Phishing simulation aimed at the scenarios your staff actually face, not generic prize emails

The honest part: technology reduces the odds, it does not eliminate them. The control that reliably stops the loss is a callback to a number you obtained independently, before funds move, every time, with no exceptions for busy days. We will support that process and make sure your systems do not quietly undermine it, but the procedure is yours.
