CISO Guide to Account Takeover

Even one successful compromised account can start a cascade of other internal and external attacks, making it possibly the most dangerous email threat organizations face.

Compromised accounts may be the most dangerous email threat that organizations face. Once an account has been compromised, it can be used to execute additional attacks—providing threat actors a variety of opportunities to steal funds and sensitive information.

And because the messages are being sent from the actual email accounts of compromised employees, executives, and vendors, attackers can easily establish far more credibility and bypass traditional security measures.
