(Headquarters: Kyoto, Japan; President and CEO: Takeshi Okamura) will host a free online seminar on combating Business Email Compromise (BEC) titled "Is 'Urgent Remittance from the President' Real? Understanding and Mitigating BEC: Blocking Spoofed Emails Before They Reach the Inbox" on June 23, 2026, at 14:30.

## Corporate Damage from Sophisticated Spoofing Emails
In recent years, cyberattacks exploiting corporate email have been on the rise, with damage from Business Email Compromise (BEC) becoming particularly acute. BEC is an attack that induces unauthorized remittances or information leaks via emails impersonating executives or business partners. Its defining feature is that it targets human error by the employee.
Attack tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated year by year, making it difficult to distinguish legitimate emails from malicious ones. Consequently, risks that cannot be prevented by traditional spam or antivirus measures alone are becoming apparent.

## Multi-layered Measures: People and Technology
Given this background, companies require multi-layered security measures that combine:
- Operational rules such as internal confirmation flows and double-checking systems.
- Technical anti-spoofing measures.
This seminar explains how to understand the full scope of practical measures for these challenges in just 30 minutes.

## Key Points
The seminar will systematically explain BEC countermeasures from the following perspectives:
- Latest tactics of undetectable spoofing emails.
- Psychological background of why people get deceived.
- Operational measures such as confirmation flows.
- Technical anti-spoofing measures using sender domain authentication.
- Defense reinforcement through email security services.
This session offers practical insights for companies looking to review their email security and individuals seeking specific, effective defense measures.

## Recommended for:
- Corporate information system and security managers.
- Staff involved in remittance instructions or critical information transmission, such as general affairs or accounting.
- Those concerned about whether employees can identify emails that appear legitimate at first glance.
