5 Real-World Cyberattacks and How to Stop Them: Volume 1
Volume 1 focuses on social engineering-based attacks. It details BEC, e-signature phishing, TOAD (telephone-oriented attack delivery), payroll diversion, and supply chain compromise. Each case illustrates how attackers exploited human trust and how Proofpoint detected threats others missed, often by combining behavioral AI with anomaly detection. The eBook shows why people remain the weakest link and why layered defenses that analyze language, domains, and user behavior are critical. It also educates security leaders on evolving social engineering tactics costing billions globally.
