In 2024, a staggering 79% of organizations faced attempted or actual payments fraud. Think about that for a second – nearly 8 in 10 businesses got hit or targeted. And this isn’t just about clever hackers exploiting systems. It’s about people – internal staff, finance teams, and everyday users – being manipulated to open the door.
The most common method? Business Email Compromise (BEC), where fraudsters pose as trusted stakeholders – CEOs, vendors, partners – and pressure employees into making unauthorized payments. It’s not a new tactic, but it’s evolving faster than ever.
So why are so many companies still falling victim? Because while systems are getting smarter, people are still undertrained.
Cybersecurity tools can filter spam and flag anomalies, but no firewall can stop an employee who genuinely believes they’re wiring funds to the CFO. The reality is, attackers know this. They target the human layer – the most unguarded, under-tested layer in the organization.
This is exactly where AUMINT.io steps in.
Trident, our social engineering defense platform, is designed to build behavioral immunity against threats like BEC. We don’t just teach staff to recognize red flags – we train them to respond under real pressure.
Here’s how Trident flips the script:
– Hyper-realistic BEC simulations based on actual attack trends
– Role-specific training for finance, HR, and C-suite teams
– Adaptive content that evolves with each user’s risk profile
– Executive dashboards to track team performance and threat readiness
Fraud is no longer a tech issue alone. It’s a human vulnerability crisis.
The sooner your team learns how to outsmart these attackers, the better protected your revenue and reputation will be. Let’s talk about how AUMINT can train your people to recognize and shut down fraud attempts before money leaves the account.
