Situation
Business Email compromise and impersonation represent the largest cost organizations incur for cybercrime.
Losses in excess of $2Bn/year are incurred as a result of this attack method which is far more common and costly than the more frequently discussed methods such as ransomware or credential stealing.

The security team want to regain control, stop being a victim of cybercrime and start protecting their constituency proactively.
