What it does

Detecting Business Email Compromise With AI is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Deploy AI and NLP-powered detection systems to identify business email compromise attacks by analyzing writing style, behavioral patterns, and contextual anomalies that evade traditional rule-based filters.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/api-reference.md` and `references/standards.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Natural language processing and Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Natural language processing
  • Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone

Example prompts

  • “/detecting-business-email-compromise-with-ai”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Deploy AI Email Security Platform
  2. Configure Behavioral Baselines
  3. Train NLP Models for BEC Detection
  4. Configure Detection Policies
  5. Integrate with Response Workflow

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Detecting Business Email Compromise With AI loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 521 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Detecting Business Email Compromise with AI

Overview

AI-powered BEC detection uses machine learning, NLP, and behavioral analytics to identify sophisticated impersonation attacks that contain no malicious links or attachments. Traditional rule-based filters miss these attacks because BEC relies purely on social engineering. Modern AI approaches analyze writing style, tone, vocabulary, grammatical patterns, and behavioral context to determine if an email genuinely comes from the stated sender. BERT-based models achieve 98.65% accuracy in BEC detection, and AI-enhanced platforms show a 25% increase in phishing identification over keyword-based rules.

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require detecting business email compromise with ai
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • AI-powered email security platform (Abnormal Security, Tessian, Microsoft Defender)
  • Historical email data for baseline training (minimum 30 days)
  • Integration with email platform (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace)
  • SIEM for alert correlation and investigation
  • Understanding of BEC attack types (FBI IC3 classification)

Workflow

Step 1: Deploy AI Email Security Platform
  • Select API-based solution (Abnormal Security, Tessian, Ironscales) or enhance existing SEG
  • Connect to Microsoft Graph API or Google Workspace API
  • Allow 48-hour baseline learning period on historical email data
  • Configure integration to scan inbound, outbound, and internal email
  • Verify API permissions for message access and remediation
Step 2: Configure Behavioral Baselines
  • AI learns normal communication patterns: who emails whom, frequency, tone
  • Establish writing style profiles for each user (vocabulary, sentence structure)
  • Map typical request types per role (finance processes payments, HR handles PII)
  • Baseline email metadata: typical sending times, devices, locations
  • Flag deviations from established baselines as anomalous
Step 3: Train NLP Models for BEC Detection
  • Deploy transformer-based models (BERT, GPT) for email content analysis
  • Detect urgency and manipulation language patterns
  • Identify mismatches between sender identity and writing style
  • Analyze sentiment shifts indicating social engineering pressure
  • Classify email intent: information request, payment request, credential request
Show full SKILL.md (194 more words)Show less
Step 4: Configure Detection Policies
  • VIP impersonation: AI compares new email against known executive communication patterns
  • Vendor impersonation: detect payment change requests from vendor lookalike domains
  • Account compromise: detect sudden changes in employee email behavior
  • Supply chain BEC: monitor for impersonation of trusted partners
  • Configure confidence thresholds for auto-block vs. warning banner vs. analyst review
Step 5: Integrate with Response Workflow
  • Auto-quarantine high-confidence BEC detections
  • Add warning banners for moderate-confidence detections
  • Route suspicious emails to SOC analyst queue for review
  • Integrate with SOAR for automated response playbooks
  • Feed BEC verdicts back into training data for model improvement

Tools & Resources

  • Abnormal Security: API-based AI email security with behavioral analysis
  • Microsoft Defender for O365: Built-in AI anti-BEC with Impostor Classifier
  • Tessian (Proofpoint): AI-powered email security with human layer protection
  • Ironscales: AI + human-in-the-loop BEC detection
  • Darktrace Email: Self-learning AI for email threat detection

Validation

  • AI detects test BEC email with no malicious indicators (pure social engineering)
  • Writing style analysis identifies impersonation of known executive
  • Behavioral baseline flags unusual payment request from compromised account
  • NLP correctly classifies urgency manipulation in test scenario
  • False positive rate below 0.05% after baseline training
  • Detection rate exceeds traditional rule-based filters by 25%+
