Finance Has Broad Access and Little Oversight

Finance staff often access banking portals, payment processors, payroll systems, and invoices. Yet they rarely fall under the same monitoring as IT or engineering.

BEC Attacks Target Them Relentlessly

Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams aim directly at finance. Attackers impersonate execs or vendors, requesting urgent payments to fake accounts — and it works.

Wire Transfers Can’t Be Undone

Once funds are sent via ACH or wire, they’re gone. Banks rarely reverse transactions initiated by “authorized” users — even if they were tricked.

When training takes a backseat, your AI programs don't stand a chance.

One of the biggest reasons AI adoption stalls is because teams aren’t properly trained. This AI Training Checklist from You.com highlights common pitfalls and guides you to build a capable, confident team that can make the most out of your AI investment. Set your AI initiatives on the right track.

Invoice Manipulation Is a Silent Threat

Attackers infiltrate email threads or ERP systems and subtly alter bank account details on invoices. No malware, just quiet financial redirection.

Finance Portals Lack Granular Controls

Banking tools often allow full access with limited role-based access. This makes internal mistakes or malicious actors harder to contain.

Finance Security Needs Tech + Process

Enable transaction approval workflows, enforce 2FA, restrict access, and implement change confirmation policies. High-trust roles demand high-friction safeguards.
