Cyber Awareness Month - Business email compromise
An urgent email from the CEO puts a finance analyst to the test. This awareness comic shows how pausing, verifying and reporting can prevent Business Email Compromise (BEC).
The CEO’s Urgent Request follows Maya, a finance analyst who receives a last-minute email demanding an ₹8 lakh transfer to new bank details. With pressure to act quickly, keep the request confidential and skip approvals, Maya and her colleague Ravi recognise the warning signs. A call to the CEO through a trusted number reveals the scam and stops the payment. Through a relatable workplace story and a practical response checklist, this comic helps employees recognise BEC attempts and apply three simple steps: Pause → Verify → Report.
