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.

Microsoft 365 powers the modern workplace, but its complexity also creates risk. Missteps in Admin Center, SharePoint, Teams, or Exchange can quietly open doors to attackers, from excessive permissions to weak policies that expose sensitive data. This session explores how security posture management uncovers hidden gaps, strengthens configurations, and prevents small oversights from escalating into breaches.

The rise of crypto has created new opportunities—for both investors and attackers. In this session, we’ll uncover how threat actors exploit decentralized systems, impersonate crypto brands, and weaponize urgency to steal funds, and how Abnormal AI detects and blocks these fast-moving, irreversible scams.

ThreatStream: Cryptocurrency Fraud: Fast Money, Faster Scams

The rise of crypto has created new opportunities—for both investors and attackers.

As mergers and acquisitions accelerate, cyber and privacy risks remain among the most overlooked and financially devastating factors that impact deal value and post-close stability. In this joint session with experts from Norton Rose Fulbright, CrowdStrike, and Abnormal AI, we’ll cover: 

- The legal risks of insufficient diligence and why understanding a target’s data landscape and compliance posture is essential for protecting investments.
- How the CrowdStrike M&A Compromise Assessment can uncover active and historical adversary activity across endpoint, cloud, identity, and SaaS environments. 
- How behavioral AI provides critical visibility into email-borne risk to enable Day-One protection against BEC, account takeovers, and vendor fraud.

Together, these three expert panelists will share an in-depth approach to M&A security to empower your organization to reduce the risk of acquisitions, accelerate secure integrations, and preserve deal value.

Day-One Defense: A Smarter Approach to Cybersecurity for M&A

AI has upended the economics of social engineering. Anyone can now craft fluent, context-aware lures at speed and scale. In this session, Abnormal AI’s EJ Whaley and world-renowned cyberpsychologist Dr. Mary Aiken unpack how attackers blend large language models with behavioral science—exploiting authority bias, urgency, and group conformity—to bypass human defenses across email, chat, and video (including deepfakes). 

We’ll examine why traditional awareness can backfire, how “phishing-as-a-service” industrializes fraud, and what it takes to restore trust in a zero-trust world.

Generative AI is powering a new wave of business email compromise attacks—more scalable, personalized, and nearly impossible to detect. See how threat actors craft hyper-realistic emails and how Abnormal’s behavioral AI detects impersonations that traditional tools miss.

ThreatStream: When BEC Meets AI

Generative AI is driving a new wave of business email compromise attacks—more scalable, more personalised, and increasingly difficult to detect. See how threat actors craft hyper-realistic emails, and how Abnormal’s behavioural AI identifies impersonation attempts that traditional tools miss.
In this ThreatStream webinar, Abnormal expert Ryan Schwartz uncovers how AI is changing the face of BEC. He walks through real attacks—from vendor compromise and payroll fraud to internal account takeovers—and shows how behavioral analysis detects what traditional tools can miss.

Watch the on-demand webinar to learn
- How attackers use AI to research targets and craft believable emails in seconds
- Why payload-less attacks and lookalike domains evade traditional defenses
- How behavioral analysis identifies unusual tone, urgency, and relationships to stop financial fraud

Higher education is facing an escalating volume of advanced, AI-driven email threats designed to impersonate trusted users, compromise accounts, and slip past traditional defenses. With small teams and increasing pressure to reduce manual workloads, universities are rethinking how they secure their communities against these fast-evolving attacks.

In this fireside chat, Patricia Titus, Field CISO at Abnormal AI, and Thomas Smith, Deputy CIO of Coppin State University, will explore how Coppin State strengthened its security posture by modernizing its approach to email threat detection and response. Thomas will share how the university reduced operational burden through automation, improved visibility into account compromise attempts, and achieved a dramatic reduction in attacks.

You’ll learn:
- How AI is shaping today’s most common threats in higher education
- Ways automation helps reduce manual investigation 
- Key priorities for universities preparing for next-generation, AI-enabled threats

Join us to hear real-world insights, lessons learned, and practical takeaways you can apply to elevate your institution’s security posture.
