Impersonation threats are among the most targeted and deceptive email attacks that exploit your people’s trust. Of these, vendor email compromise (VEC) stands out as one of the hardest to detect, leveraging trusted supplier relationships to bypass even the strongest defenses and fool the savviest employees.

Join us for a 30-minute webinar to learn:
- What makes VEC unique and why it’s becoming a preferred tactic for cybercriminals
- Practical steps you can quickly implement to mitigate its risks
- A customizable framework for building comprehensive VEC protection
