Explanation

To prevent an accounting clerk from sending money to an attacker's bank account due to fraudulent instructions, the most effective measure would be updating the processes for sending wire transfers. This can include implementing verification steps, such as requiring multiple approvals for changes in payment instructions and directly confirming new account details with trusted sources. Updating processes for sending wire transfers: Involves adding verification and approval steps to prevent fraudulent transfers. Standardizing security incident reporting: Important for handling incidents but not specifically focused on preventing fraudulent wire transfers. Executing regular phishing campaigns: Helps raise awareness but may not directly address the process vulnerability. Implementing insider threat detection measures: Useful for detecting malicious activities but does not directly prevent fraudulent transfer instructions.
