What really happens during a cyber attack?
Not the Hollywood version — the real one. The kind businesses experience every single day when a single compromised password, phishing email, or zero-day vulnerability ignites a full-scale crisis.
In this full episode, we take you inside the anatomy of a real data breach with digital first responders from NetGain Technologies — the cybersecurity professionals who live inside ransomware events, Business Email Compromise (BEC) incidents, and wire-fraud attacks every week.
You’ll see how attacks start, how fast they spread, what attackers do once they’re inside your email, and the exact steps that decide whether a company recovers… or collapses.
What You’ll Learn:
• How a phishing email turns into credential theft and internal compromise
• Why Business Email Compromise (BEC) is now the #2 most expensive breach type
• The tricks attackers use to hide inside inboxes and impersonate executives
• How wire transfer fraud really happens — and how the 2-person rule stops it
• What zero-days look like in the wild (and why patches aren’t enough)
• The role of MFA, phishing-resistant MFA, email controls, and layered security
• Why backups must be immutable, air-gapped, and isolated
• How incident response teams contain malware without destroying evidence
• When to call cyber insurance, law enforcement, and breach counsel
• The IR playbook: detection → containment → communication → forensics → recovery
• Why every business — no matter how small — IS a target
