Cyber Protection for Real Estate Agents and Brokers

April 2022

Why are Cyber attacks on real estate agents and brokers rising dramatically?. Access to a single agent’s email account can be used to steal tens of thousands of dollars from multiple clients. In addition to stealing your client’s money, these attacks destroy clients’ trust in you and your business and expose you to significant legal liabilities. And, if you cannot demonstrate you have protections in place, your cyber insurance may not cover the claims.

Simple, affordable protections can protect your, your business, and your clients.

In this Coffee & Clouds minicast, we look at specific solutions that real estate agents and brokers can use to protect their systems, data, and people. We also discuss now to prevent attackers from impersonating you and your email service.

Identity, the Dark Web, and Your Business

Your employees are using their business email address to log into other services. While employees typically use their work email as a login for work related accounts and services, they may be using their work email to access personal apps and services. These accounts span social media platforms, productivity apps, data sharing services, and other tools.

Even if these services are work-related, your employees are putting your business at risk.

Studies show that between 40% and 70% of employees use identical or similar passwords for multiple logins. Breaches, such as those from Dropbox and Uber, expose your employee’s identities.

In this Coffee & Clouds minicast, we look at the scope of identity theft and advanced threats to your business. In addition to discussing methods for protecting your company, we will take a look at how identities are brokered on the Dark Web and how monitoring your domain for breached identities can protect your business.

Join us as we explore risks and solutions.
