CEO fraud is costing businesses 5 billion annually. Deepfakes are rendering traditional security measures obsolete, deceiving even the most vigilant. Companies like Arup HK and Ferrari have fallen victim. To restore confidence and peace of mind in your business interactions, a new approach is essential.

Cybercriminals gain access to CEOs' emails and use AI to mimic their writing style for free. Standard security recommendations advise caution and looking for anomalies, such as spelling mistakes or language errors. It's easy to see why these recommendations are no longer sufficient. Criminals can create convincing forgeries, even with dedicated AI like fakeGPT. Sealfie supports the most targeted individuals by providing peace of mind during crucial financial transactions.

The business email compromise (BEC) fraud is indeed associated with emails, serving as the preferred entry point for attackers who then move on to other channels, notably voice. The democratization of generative AI allows a criminal to obtain real-time voice cloning software for less than 100 euros. Protection based on human detection of a fake voice is destined to fail. Nevertheless, these are the classic recommendations for safeguarding against this fraud. We offer an innovative approach with Sealfie that requires no training.

The psychological and emotional impact of BEC (Business Email Compromise) scams on accountants and financial controllers is immense. They are literally on the frontlines, drawing a parallel with the movie 'Saving Private Ryan.' Beyond the financial aspect, accountants are often viewed as suspects, reported as unreliable to authorities, and frequently terminated for negligence. Meanwhile, criminals can create convincing forgeries at minimal cost. We enable these finance professionals to supplement their vigilance with irrefutable evidence of their good faith, without forcing them to be seen as overly meticulous.
