The Easiest Way to Hack Your Agency
Phishing, Email Compromises, and What Every Agency Needs to Know to Avoid Them

Why hack your systems when you could just trick an employee? Join us for a non-technical look at the easiest way into most businesses. We'll walk you through the most common cyber threats facing your office today: phishing and business email compromise (BEC). These aren’t just buzzwords, they’re real risks that can lead to wire fraud, data breaches, and serious business disruption. Learn why email-based attacks are so effective (and so dangerous), how to recognize the signs of a phishing or BEC attempt, simple steps you can take to secure your email systems, and tips you can share with your team today.

Please note that this course was offered as a break out session during CONVO2025 and while you may take the course again, you will not be eligible for CE if you attended this particular session in October.
