In the Bullseye: Healthcare and Email Threat Vectors

The Covid-19 Pandemic has impacted and stressed the healthcare industry in many ways. One of those ways have been the cyber and fraud threats that have mushroomed in frequency since the health emergency started. Threat actors are targeting individuals in certain verticals like Healthcare industry instead of networks and using email as their favorite vector. These Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Email Account Compromise (EAC) attacks are aimed at specific people in an organization to steal money, data or sensitive healthcare information or to gain access to legitimate mailboxes using tactics such as phishing, malware or social engineering to impersonate the victim. This can lead to further infiltration into an enterprise system. What can those in the healthcare industry do to combat this targeting by cyber criminals?
