Vendor Email Compromise Outpaces BEC in EMEA – A Wake-Up Call for MSSPs
📧 VEC Attacks in EMEA Soar Past BEC Threats
Vendor Email Compromise (VEC) engagement in EMEA hits 47.3% – almost double BEC’s rate.
This rise shows how VEC exploits trust in external vendors, bypassing traditional BEC defenses.
EMEA reports only 0.2% of VEC incidents, signaling a critical awareness gap.

Continuous employee education and simulated VEC phishing drills are essential to close this gap.
