The shift to remote work makes employees more susceptible to BEC attacks and gives threat actors the opportunity to apply tactics likely to be successful given these working conditions. “The pandemic has ignited digital transformation efforts at a breakneck pace and cybercriminals are moving just as fast, taking advantage of a new work-from-home landscape amid great business uncertainty,” said Even Reiser, CEO, Abnormal Security. “Keeping pace with change is critical, as attackers have continued to exploit enterprises’ weak links – such as vendor and partner relationships – and are pushing more sophisticated and targeted BEC attacks than we’ve seen previously.”
