Critical Security Gap

The 0.01% That Costs$4.89 Million

Even the best email security tools miss 0.01-5% of sophisticated attacks. That gap—between your perimeter security and irreversible financial loss—is where Vericor operates.

Why Even 99.99% Effective Security Isn't Enough

Perimeter Security

Proofpoint, Mimecast, Microsoft Defender catch 99.95% of threats

  • ✓ Spam filtering
  • ✓ Malware detection
  • ✓ Phishing link blocking
  • ✓ Attachment scanning

The Gap

0.01-5% of sophisticated attacks bypass perimeter

  • • No malicious links
  • • No attachments
  • • Legitimate-looking domains
  • • Social engineering

Financial Loss

Average BEC incident costs $4.89M

  • • Wire transfer fraud
  • • Invoice manipulation
  • • Payroll diversion
  • • Credential theft

Vericor is the control layer that operates in the gap— when employees are uncertain before wiring money, they verify in 3 seconds.

Real Companies. Real Losses.

These companies had enterprise-grade email security. They still lost hundreds of millions because there was no verification step between uncertainty and irreversible action.

Why These Attacks Bypassed Email Security

1. No Malicious Payload

BEC emails contain no malware, no phishing links, no suspicious attachments. They're plain text requests that pass through spam filters and security gateways undetected.

2. Legitimate-Looking Domains

Attackers use domains that are one character off ([email protected] instead of yourcompany.com) or compromise real vendor accounts. Email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) can't catch these.

3. Social Engineering

Attackers research targets, use inside information, create urgency, and impersonate authority figures. Even trained employees fall for sophisticated social engineering.

4. No Verification Step

When an employee receives a wire transfer request, they have no way to verify it's legitimate before sending millions. By the time they call to confirm, the money is gone.
