Description
Executive And Supplier Impersonation Attacks explains how criminals use email to pose as senior executives or trusted suppliers within organisations.
It outlines common tactics, warning signs, and verification practices.
This course examines how impersonation attacks, also known as Business Email Compromise, are planned and why they cause significant financial loss in workplace settings.
It describes how attackers research organisations, exploit authority, and create urgency to pressure employees into bypassing normal procedures.
The content covers both executive impersonation and supplier impersonation scenarios, including false payment requests and changes to bank details.
Learners are shown how to recognise warning signs such as unusual requests, subtle email address changes, and out-of-character language.
The course also explains practical verification steps, emphasising the use of separate communication channels and established approval processes.
Examples are grounded in everyday organisational contexts to reflect realistic email threats faced by finance, administrative, and operational teams.
