A single compromised mailbox is rarely just a single compromised mailbox.

Once an attacker has access, they read quietly, study how your business communicates, and wait for the right moment. Then they send a wire transfer request, a vendor update, or an invoice change from a real address inside your company. The message looks normal because, technically, it is.

This is how business email compromise quietly drains real money from small and mid-sized businesses every day.

Our latest article walks through what actually happens when a mailbox is compromised and the practical steps that prevent it.

Our latest article breaks down what a ransomware incident actually costs a small business, and why preparation is dramatically cheaper than recovery.
