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. In this session, we’ll explore how threat actors exploit decentralised systems, impersonate crypto brands, and weaponise urgency to steal funds, and how Abnormal AI detects and blocks these fast-moving, irreversible scams.

Threat actors are rapidly adopting generative AI to enhance the scale, sophistication, and effectiveness of their attacks in K-12 institutions. Email remains one of the most vulnerable entry points, as cybercriminals leverage AI-generated content to craft highly convincing phishing campaigns, business email compromise (BEC) attacks, and other social engineering tactics.

In this session, we’ll explore how generative AI is reshaping the threat landscape, examining real-world examples of AI-driven attacks, the evolving techniques used by cybercriminals, and the specific attack types expected to increase in both volume and complexity. We’ll also discuss how AI can be harnessed for defense, providing insight into the latest security innovations that leverage AI to counteract emerging threats.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the risks posed by AI-powered attacks and the proactive steps your organization can take to stay ahead of adversaries in this evolving cyber battlefield.

[Virtual Workshop] The AI Threat: Protecting K-12 from AI-Generated Email Attacks

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.

Drawing on years of vendor evaluation experience and deep market analysis, this session gives security leaders a practical framework for making informed decisions.

You'll learn:
- How Gartner analysts assess the email security landscape, and the evaluation criteria that matter most
- The questions to ask vendors—and the red flags to watch out for 
- A practical framework for building your vendor shortlist
- How to use analyst reports like the Gartner Magic Quadrant effectively
- How to structure vendor comparisons to reveal real differentiation and real-world performance

Whether you're replacing a legacy SEG, augmenting existing defenses, or evaluating your current solution, this session provides the independent analysis and actionable guidance to make the right choice for your organization.

Defending Higher Ed in the Age of AI: A Fireside Chat with Coppin State University

Your first thought when hearing about ChatGPT was probably something like, “This is amazing and will be great for productivity!” Your second thought was likely, “Oh no… This will great for productivity…” 

Not only because you were worried about what your employees could do with it, but because you were fully aware of what bad actors could do with it. Unfortunately, the same tools that make us better at our jobs also make it easier for cybercriminals to succeed.

But what does that look like? And how scared should we really be? 

Join us for this session featuring Kevin Poulsen to hear about the good and bad when it comes to AI. You’ll learn: 

* How AI has evolved over the last decade and why ChatGPT is a gamechanger
* What ChatGPT-generated threats can look like
* Which types of AI-generated attacks are already being discovered 
* And why security leaders and the C-suite alike should be concerned about this evolving threat

Don’t miss the first part in this series from someone who knows how to get inside the mind of a cybercriminal—and who can show you exactly what threats are targeting your organization next.
