Vendor Email Compromise Outpaces BEC in EMEA – A Wake-Up Call for MSSPs
📧 VEC Attacks in EMEA Soar Past BEC Threats

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.
MSSPs must adopt advanced behavioral analytics and third-party identity monitoring to catch these sophisticated threats.
Continuous employee education and simulated VEC phishing drills are essential to close this gap.
