The Challenge
The office manager at a busy roofing company received emails that appeared to be from crew members requesting changes to their direct deposit information. Two fraudulent changes were processed before the bookkeeper noticed something was off.
Our Solution
We implemented email security with anti-impersonation features, created a verification process for payroll changes, trained all office staff on social engineering tactics, and set up monitoring for suspicious email patterns.
The Results
- Recovered funds from fraudulent transfers
- New verification process prevents future incidents
- Blocked 8 similar phishing attempts in the following quarter
- All office staff completed security awareness training
“We're roofers, not IT people. We had no idea these scams were so sophisticated. IronGate set us up with protection that actually works and doesn't require us to become security experts.”
