The challenge
A busy recruitment team received high volumes of CVs, links and supplier messages, making it difficult to separate genuine communication from phishing and payment diversion attempts.
The security approach
The security approach combines advanced filtering, impersonation rules, DMARC alignment, user reporting and a verification process for bank-detail changes.
The outcome
The business has layered technical and human controls around its highest-volume attack route, with clearer escalation when a suspicious message reaches a consultant.
Security without slowing consultants down
The objective is not to block normal recruitment work. Policies are tuned around expected file types, trusted platforms and business processes, with a fast route for releasing legitimate quarantined messages.
