Working With Real Estate Professionals
Real estate is now one of the most targeted industries in financial cybercrime, and it's easy to understand why. Large wire transfers, multiple parties communicating by email, time pressure around closings, and publicly available information about every transaction create exactly the conditions attackers exploit.
Business email compromise (BEC), where fraudsters impersonate an agent, attorney, or title company to redirect a buyer's wire transfer, accounted for $2.77 billion in losses across the industry in 2024.¹ The median loss per real estate wire fraud incident now exceeds $70,000.¹ Increasingly, AI is being used to generate phishing emails that reference specific property addresses and prior conversations, and to clone the voices of agents on calls.
We work with real estate brokerages and their agents on two things.
Protecting the transaction. We assess your brokerage's email security: whether your domain can be spoofed, what an attacker can learn about your agents from public sources, and where your closing workflows create exposure. The output is a plain-English report your team can act on immediately. This is our Security Posture & Risk Review, bookable directly.
Protecting the client after the keys are handed over. We work with buyers who want their new home's connected systems designed securely from the outset, and with high-net-worth individuals who want to understand and reduce their personal digital exposure. These engagements draw from our Vestry and Personal Cyber Exposure Review services, both bookable directly.
