Key incident response steps to defend small businesses against email compromise
Most modern businesses manage client negotiations, invoices, and vendor agreements through digital channels. While these tools speed up operations and cut overheads, cybercriminals frequently target them to intercept workflows and steal money. Business email compromise is now one of the most lucrative tactics for international fraud rings. Attackers skip malware entirely, relying instead on spoofed emails and social engineering to trick busy accounts teams into altering payment details. Establish strong internal controls and clear response routines to protect your capital and preserve client trust.
