Protect Your Business from Fraud and Scams
Learn the red flags of cybercrime and how to keep your company safe.
Fraud is a growing concern for businesses of all sizes. While large corporations often have dedicated security teams, small and mid-sized businesses can be especially vulnerable. Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, and their tactics are harder to detect.
Common scams include phishing emails, fraudulent payment requests, and business email compromise (BEC). These often mimic real vendors or partners, making them difficult to identify.
Red Flags to Watch For:
- Unexpected or urgent payment requests
- Slight changes in familiar email addresses
- Unusual requests for gift cards or wire transfers
- Messages with spelling errors or suspicious links
Protect Your Business:
- Implement multi-factor authentication
- Keep systems updated with the latest patches
- Train employees to recognize scams
- Verify vendor or payment changes through trusted channels
By staying informed and proactive, you can minimize risk and protect your organization from costly mistakes.
