Learn more about new approaches to email security to stop advanced business email compromise attacks that bypass traditional, threat intelligence-based email security solutions.

Unlike legacy email security solutions, the Abnormal Security platform uses an innovative AI-based approach that deeply understands the people, relationships, and business processes to stop the most sophisticated and costly attacks.

Modern email threats—AI-generated phishing, BEC, and lateral phishing—are evolving faster than legacy security models can keep up. Attackers are now using GenAI and Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) to launch more sophisticated attacks at scale, bypassing traditional rule-based detection.

As security leaders look to upgrade their defenses, they need more than just vendor marketing claims and analyst reports. How do you separate real AI innovation from hype? What should you ask vendors to ensure their solutions can detect and remediate threats in real-time?

Join our expert panel as we break down:
- Key trends shaping email security in 2025—and why static detection is no longer enough.
- How to evaluate AI-powered security solutions—cutting through misleading claims.
- Critical vendor questions & red flags—ensuring your next security investment delivers real protection.
- A practical framework for selecting the right solution—fact-checking vendor capabilities before you buy.

Recent research from Abnormal Security shows that account takeovers (ATOs) are a top concern for security leaders, with 77% ranking it among their three most concerning threats. To boot, 83% of Abnormal survey participants reported that their organization had been directly impacted by an ATO attack within the past year, and nearly 1 in 5 have been impacted more than 10 times. 

Given the frequency of these attacks you likely have a few questions:

1. How and why are account takeovers increasing? 
2. Which applications are the most vulnerable? 
3. And why is it difficult to detect and remediate compromised accounts?

Abnormal Security CISO Mike Britton and Enterprise Strategy Group Principal Analyst Dave Gruber tackle these queries in the following 2024 RSA Conference session. 

Register and watch the session for Britton and Gruber’s indispensable takeaways, as well as an explanation of how Abnormal Security’s unified Account Takeover solution detects malicious activity to kick out hijackers across dozens of cloud applications.
