We’ve had a few conversations recently with local business owners who all said some version of the same thing:

“I think our IT is fine… but I’m not really sure.  Maybe we're not doing everything we should be doing.”

Nothing was obviously wrong. Systems were running. But underneath that was uncertainty - and when it comes to IT and cybersecurity, “I think we’re okay” isn’t the same as actually being protected.

Business email compromise, or BEC, is not always about a suspicious email. Sometimes the real danger is an attacker quietly using a real account while your business has no idea. 

When most people think about email security, they picture a suspicious message landing in someone’s inbox. Maybe it has a strange link, awkward wording, or a request that feels just a little off.
