    The Rising Threat: BEC and Sekur’s Solution

    BEC, or business email compromise, is among today’s worst online threats. Many people have had large sums of money compromised due to fraudulent messages and scammers who utilize email as their primary method of attack. Instead of leaving themselves to the mercy of potential scammers, companies and individuals are turning to tools like Sekur to solve their problems and reduce their risk.

    BEC is rampant, creating a significant cause for concern amongst the public and businesses in particular. Those trying to conduct business virtually and via email, no longer feel safe making transactions—and understandably so. There are plenty of cases to note, including one of a woman from the Upper West Side of New York City. Hackers got into her real estate lawyer’s email address and instructed her to wire them over $746,000. Now, she’s burdened with the loss and the consequential lawsuit. More stories like this are surfacing every day.

    Luckily, we have an innovative solution in place that can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim of business email compromise schemes. One of the best tools in the industry is Sekur, a company that offers protection against BEC and other hacking attempts.

    Sekur’s privacy network offers high-level protection for all types of businesses. From small companies to large enterprises, Sekur can provide coverage to its clients, helping them alleviate the worries of their financial assets being compromised.

    To focus on the importance of what Sekur is solving for its customers, let’s consider another case of BEC. One of Sekur’s clients’ companies was hacked and lost $175,000 to fraud—an event that quickly inspired them to bring Sekur’s effective protection tools on board.

    As hackers continue to gain success, BEC attacks have become more common, making Sekur’s systems more important than ever before. The increase in demand for products like this has led to Sekur’s rise in popularity. Sekur continues to reinvest its resources into its offerings, consistently developing ever better ways to protect clients from scams. When you need a company that can keep up with hackers, Sekur is the one to count on, and they have many satisfied clients to vouch for them.

    Sekur takes a comprehensive approach to security solutions, including the tools used on email platforms. SekurSend and SekurReply protect both senders and receivers—even if the receiver isn’t a Sekur client. The tools encrypt sensitive information in emails, minimizing the potential for hacking. This maximizes one’s ability to conduct business online without the fear of being scammed and losing financial resources in the process.

    Sekur has been growing at a rapid rate, increasing its sales by 50% year-over-year. Its ability to address the numerous needs in the cybersecurity market has attracted attention from a public that’s sick of BEC schemes and their constant threats. As they gravitate toward Sekur’s security products, many customers opt to purchase SekurVPN and SekurMessenger as part of a bundle, putting them in an excellent position if faced with any hacking activity. Right now, with the code PRIVACY, customers can enjoy 15% off Sekur’s products for the next five years.
