profile bec

profile bec

Use this command to configure business email compromise (BEC) profile rules. To avoid false positives and false negatives, assign scores to adjust the weight allocated to each of the most common BEC attack types, such as cousin domains, suspicious characters, sender alignment, action keywords, and URL categories.

Once configured, BEC profiles are then used in antispam profiles.
