You can protect the company, but can you protect the CEO..? [The Register]() Spear phishers love the executive suite. Here's how to stop them getting in A free Webcast from The Register 2 December 2020 @ 5pm GMT / 6pm CEST / 9am PT / 12pm ET [[Local Time](20York/Paris/Berlin/Moscow/Toronto/Abu_Dhabi/Cape_Town)] You can protect the company, but can you protect the CEO? Hello {NAME}, If you've ever wondered what the CEO does all day, you're not the only one. Cyber attackers also give the matter a lot of thought, which is why a well-crafted spear phishing attack can be so hard to defend against. Why? Because why it's one thing to get an accounts admin to open a payload bearing email, it's quite another to hijack the account of a person who holds the future of the company in their hands. Hit the right nerve, and that busy chief exec could say yes to a painfully large wire transfer, or happily share the company's most precious IP. And that's before you even consider the potential for spreading malware or ransomware via the one account where everybody pays attention to. And why do attackers keep throwing out spear phishing attacks? Well, they're in business, and you have to assume their ROI ultimately works for them. So, if you want to save the company, sometimes it's a question of working out how to Save Your CEO from Spear Phishing.
