2026 Cyber Threat Report: State of Business Email Compromise (BEC)

BEC is the silent, hidden competition you can’t afford to ignore–literally. It works like a white-glove heist, quietly exploiting human trust to trick your employees into sending money to attacker-controlled accounts. BEC tactics blend into your normal digital activity, compromising your identities and turning your own tools against you. 

This ebook breaks down how these attacks play out, from sketchy initial access logins and inbox rule manipulation (35% and 19% of all identity threats, respectively) to devastating financial whiplash. 

Here’s a look at what you’ll find:

• What really happens when BEC risks get ignored

• The early warning signs of a BEC intrusion

• Why human analysis matters

• A practical BEC defense playbook
