BEC Attacks: The #1 Email Threat

BEC attacks have cost more than $43 billion in losses since 2016, and they have become one of the most successful and financially damaging online crimes.

Once the cybercriminal has gained access to an email inbox, usually with a phishing scam, they will search the inbox for high value email threads such as email conversations with suppliers or other individuals in the company to gather information. Leveraging this information, they’ll send an email message that appears to come from a trusted source.

The problem is that BEC attacks bypass legacy email solutions. As the email comes from a trusted source, it is able to pass rule-based security controls, such as DMARC, DKIM and domain authentication, without detection.

How Tessian Detects and Prevents BEC Attacks

Understands Normal End-User Email Behaviors

Unlike legacy email products that use a rule-based approach, sender reputation, and deny/allow lists, Tessian’s behavioral intelligence modeling, powered by machine learning, creates relationship graphs and baselines for what normal behaviors looks like for each end-user.
Learns from Global Threat Network

Tessian’s algorithms continuously analyze and learn from email communications across its Global Threat Network, which contains billions of email data points, to build profiles and models of companies and their employees’ normal email communication patterns.
Analyzes Email Data to Detect Anomalies

Tessian analyzes email metadata in real-time to identify anomalies. It compares inbound emails with your organization’s historical email dataset and the Tessian Global Threat Network. Tessian also uses natural language processing (NLP) and conducts deep content inspection to look for content within emails that has malicious intent. This way, Tessian can detect the most subtle anomalies that signal a BEC attack.
Identifies Your Most Targeted Employees

Tessian identifies the most attacked people in your organization, the spread of the attack, and previous instances of such an attack to help security teams take preventative action against advanced email threats.
Coaches People on Threats In-the-moment

Tessian prevents end-users from falling victim to a BEC attack by warning the individual of the threat in real-time and explaining what is unusual about the email with contextual warnings. This in-the-moment security awareness coaching reduces click through rates and helps people detect future attacks.
