WEBINAR:
Best Practices to Protect Your Inbox From Fraud
Wednesday | November 22, 2023 | 12pm CT
Presenter: Debra R Richardson
Your IT team’s email filters only block about 85% of fraudulent emails, meaning that 15% get through to your inbox. And if you have Outlook, according to a whitepaper by Microsoft Defender, it increases to 18.8%. As a critical function of the procure-to-pay process, you can’t always follow the typical cybersecurity training guidance of not opening unexpected emails or clicking on attachments because that’s all you get!
Most emails are unexpected, coming from vendors that you don’t know and include attached invoices and supporting documentation that are required to perform your function! With generative AI and other fraud tactics, it’s getting harder to spot those fraudsters that get through to your inbox.
Find out what best practices you can implement to protect your inbox from fraud.
Three to Six Key Learning Objectives:
- Why your inbox may intentionally receive fraudulent emails
- Subtle tricks fraudsters use to get fraudulent emails past email fraud filters
- Zero-cost tools to determine if an email is fraudulent and should be reported
