Discover why 44% of vendor email compromise attacks engage employees—and how AI and behavioral insights can turn awareness into action.

Cybersecurity Awareness in Action: How 44% of VEC Attacks Engage Employees

Every day, attackers exploit human trust with text-based scams like business email compromise (BEC) and vendor email compromise (VEC). These emails look routine, feel familiar, and too often prompt action. Our recent threat report shows that up to 44% of VEC messages trigger a reply or forward, with engagement climbing even higher in the largest enterprises.

Most attacks go unreported, analysts drown in noise, and repeat engagement persists—especially in high-pressure roles and vendor-heavy industries—creating real financial risk.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn:

  • Why VEC and BEC are so effective at eliciting replies and how attacker tactics have evolved

  • Which industries, roles, and regions are most vulnerable and why

  • Practical steps to reduce risk, including vendor verification, real-time contextual training, and behavior-based detection that stops attacks before inboxes
