Protecting against Business Email Compromise (BEC) with Silverfort

Business Email Compromise (BEC) doesn’t stop at inboxes—it’s what happens after that causes the most damage.

BEC attacks cost organizations billions each year, and once credentials are compromised, attackers don’t just stop at email. They move laterally, escalate privileges, and quietly access critical systems while posing as trusted users. Traditional email security tools can’t stop that. But Silverfort can.

This solution brief explores how Silverfort helps security and risk teams go beyond inbox protection by adding identity-layer security that stops attackers from misusing stolen credentials. With real-time access monitoring, adaptive MFA enforcement, and unified identity visibility across hybrid environments, Silverfort blocks BEC fallout before it spreads and accelerates your ability to contain and recover from compromise.

In this solution brief, you’ll learn how to:

  • Stop lateral movement and privilege escalation after a BEC incident by blocking risky authentications.
  • Extend MFA and access controls to overlooked resources like file shares, remote access tools, and legacy systems.
  • Shorten incident response time from days or weeks to hours, with unified monitoring and identity-based threat detection.
