💡 HTTP Header Analysis for Threat Detection
Examining HTTP headers beyond User-Agent reveals attack tools and automated scripts. Missing standard headers, unusual ordering, non-standard values, and inconsistencies with claimed client identity all serve as reliable detection signals.
💡 Business Email Compromise Tactics
BEC attacks use compromised or spoofed executive email accounts to request fraudulent wire transfers or sensitive data. These attacks cause billions in annual losses and rely on social engineering rather than technical exploitation.
