  • There is no miscommunication that could potentially lead to total loss of data

  • Smooth ransom payment to maximize the probability of attacker providing the decryptor

  • The chance of publishing leaked data is minimized

Business Email Compromise Response

BEC Response Datasheet EN

Business email compromise (BEC) is a type of attack compromising one or more accounts to send fraudulent emails or to further compromise target organization.

Attackers are sending malicious emails using compromised accounts to spread malware, send deceptive requests for financial gain or to further compromise the target.

These types of attacks can be carried out on-prem or using cloud service providers. In both situations, if relevant security controls are lacking, the whole account or even tenant can be compromised.

IstroSec experts will ensure fast and effective remediation consisting of:

  • Initial triage

  • Containment to prevent further spread of the attack

  • Design and implementation of security controls to prevent this type of attack

  • Breach identification, acquisition of digital evidence and digital forensics

  • Identification of attack vector, attack timeframe and activities performed by the adversary in the system

  • Identification of data accessed, exfiltrated or modified by the attacker
