Secure Translations - Business Email Compromise (BEC)

This subject is sticky for two months for a very good reason. Training is mission critical, mastery is a must and Paranoia is the only effective defense. Trust but verify! Untrained Employees are the biggest security risk for the modern enterprise.

With so many language service providers (LSP) you should look for the ones that have invested smart (and not just hard) into security.

You can follow the "Secure Language Translations" series in this blog, on linkedIn or Twitter. My objective is to educate executives and managers but also to help engineers in reducing the organization risk through sound security measures.
