Business Email Compromise:

What is it and how can it be prevented?

Wednesday, November 20 | 12:00-1:00 p.m. | Virtual

Business email compromise (BEC) is any criminal impersonation involving business email accounts (as opposed to free personal email accounts like gmail, yahoo, etc). The FBI calls it “one of the most financially damaging online crimes” with annual reports putting losses for businesses related to BEC at over $2.5B. That’s up around 700% from 2016, a staggering number meaning that this threat will likely only get worse in the small to medium-sized business (SMB) space.

In this Small Business Roundtable, Phillip Steuber, Co-Founder and Operations Director of Codex Computer Services will define BEC in depth, provide examples of recent cases, and offer ways for small businesses to prevent it from happening to them.

Registration for members of the Chamber is free. Prospective members may register for $20. All registrants will receive the Zoom meeting link in the confirmation email upon registration.

The Chamber's monthly Small Business Roundtable offers an important educational and networking opportunity for smaller businesses. The topic of discussion changes monthly, allowing attendees to learn about topics relevant to their business operations each month.
