CEO Fraud Prevention Manual

Although the report features facts and figures relating to the US, we know from listening to our community, the UK is far from exempt

By targeting business leaders to gain access to business credentials it’s ruined the careers of many executives and loyal employees. Successful CEOs have been fired because of it.  Share prices have collapsed.  IPOs and mergers have been taken off the table.

This type of cyber crime generated more than 23,000 complaints that were responsible for losses of more than $1.7 billion in 2019 alone. Between June 2016 and July 2019, the FBI reported that the total domestic and international exposed dollar loss was over $26 billion.

Despite these statistics, cyber risk management remains a blind spot for most C-level executives. Therefore, any organisation led by its CEO must quickly learn to integrate these skills and technologies into day-to-day operations – or face the consequences.
