Email fraud: Deliberate misrepresentation via email designed to
elude corporate security measures and achieve illicit access, unlawful
gain, or malicious intent.
Enterprise email fraud has escalated into one of the most significant
corporate security threats. Now, email not only carries threat, it is
the threat.
Until recently, it appeared that email fraud was just a consumer issue.
But what research fails to show is the estimated billions lost by corporations—in
time, resources, money, not to mention the increased exposure—to
fraudulent email attacks.
The walls around a company’s IT infrastructure were built to make
sure only good email enters the enterprise, but often the biggest threat
comes from the email that appears to be from a desired or trusted source.
Email fraudsters know this and do not hesitate to exploit that trust to
attack a company through email for malicious or financial gain.
Unchecked, email fraud puts corporate email itself—now an accepted
and trusted method of business communication and activity—at risk.
Today’s company cannot afford to lose faith in its email; consequently,
today’s company cannot afford to ignore the threat of email fraud.
