Unraveling the Intricacies of Business Email Compromise
Business Email Compromise (BEC) is one of the most insidious cyber threats facing organizations today, leveraging deception and social engineering to manipulate employees into making costly mistakes. With the rise of generative AI, cybercriminals now have an even more powerful arsenal—crafting hyper-personalized phishing emails, deploying deepfake voice technology, and evolving their tactics to bypass traditional security measures. However, AI is not just a tool for attackers; it also plays a crucial role in defense. Advanced email filtering and AI-driven behavioral analysis can detect anomalies and prevent fraudulent emails from ever reaching the inbox. In this blog, we explore how generative AI is reshaping the landscape of BEC—both as a weapon and a shield.
