Other measures include;-
BEC-Guard detector – The impact and diversity of cybercrime attacks has led to new development against the attack. Businesses have invested in detective measures to establish cybersecurity threats (Cidon et al. 2019).
The use of the BEC-Guard detector prevents BEC attacks in real-time. It detects attacks by analyzing the historical email partner that is accessed vial cloud email provider APIs.
Multi-factor security authentication– companies should implement multi-factor security authentication as an information technology security policy to prevent unauthorized access to emails where there are attempted logins from new locations (Zhang, 2018). The employee should be trained on security protocols and on ways of identifying fraudulent emails.
Employee training– the organization should implement regular employee training on how to read emails to recognize malicious emails, not answering emotionally to emails, verifying details before responding and not to open any links, among others.
Effective access management process and policy– to reduce the potential effect of phishing businesses should allow limited access to sensitive data and ensure periodical review, like deactivating credentials and preventing access immediately a staff ceases from being an employee Crane, (2019).
To prevent and mitigate spoofing attacks, organizations need to employ tools that reduce the treat such as;-
Use spoofing detection software– ARP spoofing program detect and certifies data before its transmitted and blocks suspected data that appears spoofed; this protects both emails and data theft.
Packet filtering– inspecting packets across networks protects IP address spoof attack by filtering and blocking packets with suspected source addresses or information, especially packets from an external source. Since most of the attackers use external sources, as seen on Belgian Crelan bank and Austrian aerospace firm FACC AG cases.
