Business Email Compromise

The attack that needs no malware, stopped by the check that needs no signature.

Business email compromise succeeds because nothing about it looks technically wrong. There is no payload to detect and no signature to match — only a person acting on a message that appears to come from someone they trust. VeridLock intervenes where the attack actually completes: at the moment of response.

Executive impersonation

Display-name spoofing and lookalike domains are detected before the request is acted on.

Vendor account takeover

A payment instruction that does not match your recorded baseline stops the send.

Out-of-band confirmation

The recipient is verified over a channel the attacker has not compromised.

How the attack works

An attacker observes a relationship — often for weeks — then inserts themselves at a moment when money or data is expected to move. They register a domain one character from the real one, or take over a mailbox outright, and send a request that is plausible in every respect because it matches the conversation already underway.

Inbound filtering has little to work with. The message carries no attachment, no link and no known-bad indicator. It is simply a request, and it is answered.

Where VeridLock intervenes

The platform assumes the message may be perfect and protects the response instead. Before a reply carrying sensitive information or a payment instruction leaves, the counterparty must be recognised, its payment details must match the baseline, and where neither holds, a person must confirm the recipient out of band.

  • Lookalike and homograph domains are flagged against your trusted vendor list.
  • An address close to a verified contact is treated as impersonation, never as trusted.
  • Bank details that differ from the vendor baseline force sign-off.
  • Unregistered counterparties can never auto-release, regardless of score.

Accountability afterwards

Every decision is logged with its evidence: what was flagged, who verified, who authorized and when the message was dispatched. When an incident is investigated, the timeline already exists.

How it runs

01

Impersonation detected

Domain and address analysis flag the lookalike or the spoofed display name.

02

Response held

The outbound reply is paused rather than released.

03

Recipient verified

A code confirms the counterparty over a separate channel.

04

Authorized and logged

A manager signs off and the dispatch is recorded.

The outcome

The attack fails at the only point where it could ever have been stopped — before your organization answers it.
