Leveraging Advanced Business Email Compromise Technology to Protect Customers from Cyberattacks

Leading MTSP Helps Block Email-Based Attacks, the Preferred Vector for Hackers

BIRMINGHAM, AL - BTS Technologies, Inc., a leading Managed Technology Services Provider (MTSP), announced today that the company is deploying the latest in advanced email and account protection technology to help small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) defend against Business Email Compromise, phishing and other increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks targeting employees through their inboxes.

For years, employees were told to look for obvious warning signs in a suspicious email: misspelled words, poor grammar, strange formatting or awkward language. That advice is becoming less effective. Cybercriminals now use artificial Intelligence (AI) to create polished, professional emails in seconds. Attackers can research a company, identify its executives and vendors, learn how employees communicate and then create messages that look remarkably similar to legitimate business correspondence.

"Most people still picture a scam email as something obviously fake," said Roger Wentowski, President at BTS. "But those easy clues are disappearing. Today, a fraudulent message can use your employee's real name, reference an actual vendor, sound like your CEO and look almost identical to the messages your team receives every day. Historically, awkward phrasing or spelling mistakes were dead giveaways, but as AI has become more sophisticated, so too have hackers' methods. That's what makes this new generation of attacks so dangerous."
