The Human Element of BEC: What's Real, What's Hype, and What's Next

Learn why humans are vulnerable to social engineering attacks—and get actionable insights from behavior experts and security leaders in this on-demand session.

Points clés

Human psychology is cited as the primary vulnerability exploited in BEC attacks, with no individual considered immune.

Attackers are using AI to make social engineering campaigns more convincing and scalable.

A security culture built on empathy rather than fear is framed as critical to long-term organizational resilience.

Behavioral AI is presented as a key defensive tool for detecting BEC threats and protecting users.

As cybercriminals grow more sophisticated, they’re increasingly exploiting human behavior—the most vulnerable attack surface.

In Chapter 11 of The Convergence of AI + Cybersecurity series, Abnormal’s Field CISO Mick Leach was joined by cybersecurity expert Dr. Jessica Barker and Abnormal CIO Mike Britton to explore the human element of BEC—what’s real, what’s hype, and what’s next.

  • Why human psychology makes BEC attacks so effective—and why no one is immune

  • How attackers are using AI to craft more convincing and scalable social engineering campaigns

  • Why building a security culture of empathy—not fear—is critical to long-term resilience
