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.

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.

Fighting AI with AI: A CISO Panel on Security Best Practices

Email is both a necessary communication medium, and the most vulnerable area for an attack. Unfortunately, email threats are only growing in number. Business email compromise accounts for 44% of all losses to cybercrime, and the 2021 Verizon DBIR holds that phishing remains the top entry point for breaches—a position it has held for years.

Does that mean email is doomed, and we should give up? Quite the opposite—instead, we should look to newer technologies and an integrated security strategy that provides a modernized approach to email defense. In this webinar, we do just that.

Join us for the webinar for answers to your most pressing questions, including:
- What are modern email threats, and how are they different from legacy attacks?
- Which email threats are most concerning, and how can we defend against them?
- Which technical capabilities are required from modern email security providers?
- How do modern email security companies use AI, machine learning and data science to detect the most dangerous and costly attacks?
