🧠 You Can’t Protect What You Don’t See
Most orgs only monitor what they own.
But attackers look at everything – the exposed, abandoned, and overlooked.
Think:
• Orphaned SaaS apps
• Staff emails leaked on dark web
• Unclaimed DNS records
This isn’t hidden in the dark web. It’s often public – just not on your radar.

Vendor Email Compromise Is the Silent Killer of Trust
📩 The Next Cyberattack Will Come From a Trusted Email
💥 Vendor Email Compromise (VEC) is rising fast – and it’s more dangerous than BEC.
🕵️♂️ Attackers hijack legitimate vendor email accounts and slip into ongoing conversations. The invoice looks normal. The sender’s domain is clean. But the bank details? Totally fake.
💰 One click – and six figures vanish without a trace.
🤝 These aren’t random attacks. They’re hyper-targeted, patient, and timed to your billing cycle.
🧩 Most security teams don’t catch them because the email really does come from your vendor.
💡 The only solution? Human-level awareness, real-world simulations, and executive visibility into behavioral weak spots.
📉 Trust without verification is now a threat vector.
At AUMINT.io, we help finance, procurement, and executive teams simulate and counter VEC threats before attackers strike.
Your next invoice request might be a trap – would your team catch it?

🔎 What If Your Biggest Risk Isn’t Even Inside Your Network?
Modern attacks start outside your perimeter – on public infrastructure, unsecured APIs, even social media.
Things like:
• Leaked employee credentials
• Misconfigured subdomains
• Untracked SaaS access
All of this lives outside your SIEM’s reach. But attackers find it fast.
Our €1,500 Attack Surface Report is a practical way to find and fix what they will exploit.
Not theory. Not fluff. Just real exposures mapped to business risk.
