Which social engineering attack is most effectively combated by implementing strong organizational verification procedures and training employees to confirm requests through multi-channel verifications?
Business Email Compromise (BEC) is effectively combated by strong organizational verification procedures. In a BEC attack, an attacker impersonates an executive or a partner organization in an email to trick an employee into making a financial transfer or revealing sensitive information. Training employees to verify such requests using multiple communication channels, like phone calls or face-to-face meetings, is crucial in preventing successful BEC attacks.
