Real estate and title companies are attractive targets due to the high-value transactions and personal data they process daily. Penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities in transaction portals, email systems, and wire transfer processes that attackers often exploit. It also helps meet cybersecurity insurance requirements and prevents real estate wire fraud.
The FBI reported over $446 million lost to real estate wire fraud in 2023 alone, often through compromised email accounts or spoofed communications. Such attacks can result in lost funds, legal disputes, and significant reputational damage. Penetration testing gives real estate firms the tools to detect and close the gaps that threat actors exploit most frequently.
