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.

As one of the world’s largest lodging franchisors, Choice Hotels has a duty to protect the data of its 50 million members, guests, and employees. Hospitality, like many industries, is targeted for advanced email attacks—many of which easily bypassed many different SEGs and other traditional security tools.

Threat actors launched phishing campaigns as well as invoice and payroll fraud attacks in attempts to exploit employees and vendors for financial gain and access to valuable personal data. The good news is that since Choice Hotels partnered with Abnormal, they’ve seen a large reduction in these sorts of attacks.

Join Choice Hotel’s CISO Jason Stead and VP of Engineering Jason Simpson as they recount their Abnormal journey on April 20. 

Register for the live webinar to discover:

- How Choice Hotels realized advanced attacks were bypassing their legacy email security solution
- How they quickly remediated BEC and vendor email compromise attacks
- How their security teams reclaimed time and resources for proactive security management
- The benefits of Abnormal VendorBase™ for combating supply chain fraud
- Best practices for improving security in the hospitality industry

How 4 Cybersecurity Companies Protect Against Cloud Vulnerabilities

Cloud email platforms are a cornerstone of an organization’s digital environment. The ability to integrate mission-critical third-party applications and improve the speed at which employees can communicate and collaborate can greatly improve organizational productivity. 

The drawback, however, is with more robust, complex cloud email platforms comes the potential for security gaps. Threat actors can exploit lax and misconfigured security policies to bypass MFA and abuse API integrations in order to breach cloud email platforms in ways that are difficult to detect.

Security posture management is more important than ever before. Join us for this fireside chat where Acrisure and Abnormal Security will discuss the problems effective posture management solves for email security, including: 

- Addressing the Rise of Email Platform Attacks
- Solving the Configuration Visibility Problem Security Teams Often Face
- Enhancing Investigation by Enriching Security Event Data

And doing it all without needing to add more budget or headcount!

Abnormal Demo Day: Why Security Posture Management is Crucial for Cloud Email

Across the millions of mailboxes monitored by Abnormal, we have yet to see a company that has not been targeted by an attack. Our research shows that employees are becoming the fastest-growing target of advanced attacks. Employees typically open 28% of BEC attacks and also fail to report 98% of all known attacks. While this is evidence of a continuing rise in business email compromise, today’s threat landscape has forced most organizations to take a hard look at their security strategy. 

For this February 23 Demo Day, we’ll dive into the Abnormal platform and highlight the top five helpful tips that our customers have adopted to successfully mitigate these modern-day attacks. 

Register now and get the insider scoop on:

- Preventing account takeover: See how Abnormal can detect potentially compromised accounts and prevent them from being used to launch additional attacks.
- Automating user-reported emails: Are your security teams bombarded with managing “non-critical” emails? Save time (and headaches) by automating the user-reported email process.
- Improving employee productivity: Abnormal has an adaptive approach to managing spam or graymail and increasing efficiency while also improving employee productivity (executives included!).
- Curbing supply chain attacks: Too many vendors with too little coverage? There’s a better way to recognize an attack from a compromised vendor account.
- Stopping ransomware, everywhere: Discover how launching Abnormal’s behavioral AI baselines good behavior and detects anomalies to reduce ransomware.

Abnormal Demo Day: Top 5 Ways Abnormal Secures Your Email Environment

Even with the best security measures in place, attackers are finding new ways in. Prevention is key, but believing that your organization has all the security tools it needs is a dangerous mindset.

Look at the numbers… $44 billion in exposed losses to business email compromise over the past five years. The cost of a data breach is now $9.44 million. There was a 35% increase in phishing attacks last year. And that’s only the beginning. So what do we do about it? 

Join Dr. Eric Cole in this virtual event to hear:

- How the threat landscape is changing in 2023
- Which myths you’re likely convincing yourself are true
- Why cybersecurity is an ever-evolving game we can’t win

A SOCcessful Team: How to Make Your Security Operations More Efficient

From the Nigerian Prince scams of late 1990s to the sophisticated invoice fraud of today, one thing remains the same: attackers know how to take advantage of human emotions. Whether the goal is to steal thousands from your Grandma Sue or millions from a tech giant like Google, social engineering tactics typically play a role. 

The closing session of Vision 2023 features two well-known hackers who are both intimately familiar with how social engineering can be used for evil. 

Join this session to hear from Rachel Tobac and James Linton as they talk about: 

* How they became successful hackers, with stories about their most notorious attacks 
* What information hackers can uncover, both on the impersonated victim and the target, to run their attacks 
* What security leaders can do to better protect their employees and their organizations
* And how the social engineering landscape is changing as we all become a little more aware of the threat

Hacking with Hackers: Uncovering the Human Element of Cybercrime

The 2013 Internet Crime Complaint Report released by the FBI didn’t even mention business email compromise. A year later it was the second most financially-devastating crime and starting in 2015, it took the top spot. Each year since, it has continued to outpace itself— accounting for $2.4 billion in losses last year.

Despite increases in security tools and awareness programs, these impersonation attacks are expected to grow again this year. And likely next year too. So what do we do?

In this session, Stephen Doughtery from the Secret Service will speak with Abnormal about:
* How threat actors continue to change their tactics to trick end users
* What new threats are emerging across email and other vectors
* Why business email compromise is still so successful
* And what organizations need to prevent these attacks from landing in their inboxes

The Art of the (Im)possible: Overcoming Business Email Compromise

Business email compromise is still the leading threat to organizations, and traditional tools simply can’t stop these attacks. Cyberattacks are becoming more advanced as cybercriminals find new ways around existing defenses—working to stay one step ahead of the security tools put in place to stop them. 

How can organizations better protect their users across the entire attack chain? And why does email security play such a large role? 

Join this session with speakers from Microsoft and Abnormal to hear: 
* Microsoft 365 is the most popular email platform on the market, it is a prime target for attackers
* How Microsoft’s comprehensive set of security services can prevent threats
* And why you may want additional layers of security to better protect your environment from the ever-evolving BEC threat 
 
With speakers from both Microsoft and Abnormal, this session will provide you with a practical understanding of how to better protect your Microsoft 365 users from the  increasingly sophisticated email attacks.

Protecting Your Microsoft 365 Environment from BEC and More

Lateral phishing. Invoice fraud. Payroll diversion. These threats have plagued us for years, but we’ve fortunately discovered how to manage the risk with new tools and security awareness programs. 

The next challenge is the one we’re not prepared for, as cybercriminals shift their tactics to bypass existing systems and take advantage of humans. Join us for this CISO session where our panelists will discuss topics including: 

* How their organizations have successfully mitigated threats to date
* Which threats they are seeing with increasing frequency 
* Where they are shifting their security practices leading into the new year
* And what other CISOs can do to successfully protect their own organizations, now and in the future

Preparing for the Threats of the Future: CISO Concerns for 2023

Known as the subject of Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, Frank Abagnale committed check forgery in his early years while pretending to be a Pan Am pilot, a doctor, a teacher, and an attorney. Abagnale was eventually caught by the FBI and served five years in prison in France, Sweden, and the United States.  
 
Now a private consultant for enterprises worldwide, Abagnale uses his personal experience to provide deep insight into the inner thoughts of cybercriminals and how they run their schemes. During this opening keynote for Vision 2023, he’ll share: 

* Why some of the same tricks that worked three decades ago are still working today
* How scammers are shifting their tactics to be more successful in the modern age
* New scams you can expect to see in the coming year
* And why stopping these attacks is so important to your business
 
The FBI and more than 14,000 financial institutions, corporations and government agencies around the world have worked with Frank Abagnale to understand how to better prevent fraud. Don’t miss this chance to hear from him live.

Cybercrime, Identity Theft and Scams: Tips for Staying One Step Ahead in 2023

As more companies adopt cloud email solutions, one thing is certain—they require a cloud-based email security platform that can respond not only to the volume, but also the sophistication of today’s advanced attacks. Without it, companies that still rely on legacy tools and architecture, secure email gateways, or even inexperienced security teams, will always be playing catch up to cybercriminals.    

Noah Wallace, Director of InfoSec at Progress Residential, fully understood this dilemma when he partnered with Abnormal. For him, the immediate benefits of ‘saving time’ could not be overstated: from Abuse Mailbox Automation to threat analysis, Abnormal  gave Noah and his team time back to their day to focus on more critical matters.

Join Noah at Abnormal Demo Day on November 17 where you’ll learn the details behind his success, specifically:

* The importance of text analysis and why it is useful 
* Why partnering with Abnormal is critical to making the platform better
* How he leverages Abnormal as a community-based tool

Abnormal Demo Day with Progress Residential, a Study in Security Success

The journey to a more secure cloud email environment can be challenging and demanding—particularly when traditional email security solutions lack the necessary capabilities to stop advanced email attacks. Plus, legacy platforms don’t provide sufficient information about detected attacks, leaving analysts guessing as to why the threat wasn’t stopped in the first place.

Kyle Howson of Air Canada has more than 20 years of professional IT security experience focusing on threat detection and response and security assessments as well as hands-on operational experience with a wide range of security products.

Join Kyle at Abnormal Demo Day on October 25 and learn about:
- The journey of Air Canada before and after Abnormal.
- How Abnormal provides better intelligence on blocked attacks, freeing time for Air Canada analysts to focus on other threats.
- How quickly Abnormal can integrate with your cloud email environment and simplify the day-to-day life of your security team.

Abnormal Demo Day: Air Canada’s Email Security Journey

The average cost of a data breach is now $4.24 million. And 20% of all breaches are a result of compromised credentials. What makes matters worse is that it takes an average of 250 days to realize that the compromise has even occurred, and another 91 days to contain the breach.

It’s clear that account takeovers pose a significant risk to organizations and their employees. To learn more about this risk and how to best avoid it, join us for a webinar with Troy Hunt, the brains behind HaveIBeenPwned.com. 

He’ll sit down with Abnormal Security CISO Mike Britton to chat about questions including: 
• How do account takeovers occur, both for individuals and organizations?
• What can cybercriminals do once they gain access to even one email account?
• Why does the number of compromises continue to grow, despite increased security measures?
• What can you do to prevent your organization from becoming a victim of the next data breach?

And much more. With key insights from an expert in compromised credentials, you won’t want to miss this session in the Modern Email Attacks series.
