BEC Deep Dive

📊 Level: Intermediate
⏱️ Duration: 2 Days
🏷️ Track: Incident Response
📋 Prerequisites: Foundations
🖥️ Mode: Online Instructor-Led
📝 Course Description

RCCE students will learn Business Email Compromise detection, prevention, and response including CEO fraud, vendor impersonation, account compromise, and wire transfer fraud. RCCE students will learn to identify BEC attack patterns and social engineering tactics, implement technical controls to detect BEC including email authentication, anomalous login detection, and mail flow analysis, configure rules to flag financial request emails, investigate suspected BEC incidents including email account forensics and financial transaction tracing, coordinate with financial institutions for wire transfer recovery, and develop BEC awareness training and reporting procedures for finance and executive teams. This deep-dive course provides comprehensive technical coverage that goes beyond surface-level understanding. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to master the nuances, edge cases, and advanced configurations that separate competent practitioners from true experts. Students will engage with complex real-world scenarios and gain the depth of knowledge required to troubleshoot difficult situations, mentor junior team members, and make architectural decisions with confidence.
