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.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a perfect time to spotlight one of today’s fastest-growing threats: vendor email compromise (VEC). Recent research from Abnormal AI reveals that 44% of read VEC attacks are replied to, forwarded, or both—highlighting just how easily trust can be exploited.

Join Callie Baron, Sr. Content Manager, Threat Intelligence, and Elizabeth Swantek, Data Analyst, for a fast-paced, insight-packed session that reveals how cybercriminals impersonate trusted vendors, hijack threads, and manipulate employees—and what you can do to stop them.

In this 30-minute webinar, you’ll learn:
- Who’s engaging and why: Behavioral insights from 1,400+ organizations illustrating which industries, regions, and roles are most vulnerable.
- Why VEC works: Real-world examples of impersonation and fraud tactics that bypass traditional defenses.
- What you can do now: Practical tips to boost awareness and reduce risk across your workforce.

Wrap up Cybersecurity Awareness Month with data-driven insights that prepare you for what’s ahead.

Misconfigurations in Microsoft 365, from hidden forwarding rules to weak authentication policies, are among the most common ways attackers gain access. Traditional audits and Microsoft Secure Score often miss these issues, which leaves email security teams exposed.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from Spencer Lanning, a seasoned Security Analyst and Abnormal AI customer, as he shares how his team uses Security Posture Management (SPM) to identify and fix risky misconfigurations, prevent configuration drift, and improve visibility across their environment. 

You will learn:

- What email misconfigurations are, and why they matter
- How Security Posture Management strengthens defenses
- Practical tips to reduce misconfigurations and maintain a stronger posture

Don’t let hidden misconfigurations put your organization at risk. Register today!

Higher education institutions are under siege from a new wave of phishing campaigns that go beyond stolen passwords. Today’s cybercriminals harvest Duo one-time passcodes and execute real-time account takeovers—putting sensitive data, payroll systems, and campus operations at risk.

Join Abnormal AI’s Zach Oxman, Area Vice President, and Piotr Wojtyla, Head of Threat Intel & Platform, on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at 2:00 pm ET for an eye-opening look at how attackers are evolving their tactics to bypass trusted systems and exploit academic environments.

Join this session to:
- Learn how phishing kits mimic university login portals with pixel-perfect precision, capturing both credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes.
- Uncover the post-compromise tactics attackers use to monetize access—through payroll fraud, lateral phishing, and stealthy persistence.
- Gain practical strategies to strengthen defenses, from behavior-based account takeover protection to targeted awareness training.

Don’t wait until your institution is the next target—equip your team now.

Phishing 2.0: Duo Passcodes Under Siege in Higher Education

Human error remains the leading cause of security incidents—but most security awareness training (SAT) programs were built for compliance, not resilience. Most programs are static, generic, and fail to drive measurable behavior change.
Security leaders are rethinking their approach, shifting from “awareness” to “human risk management.” The goal: measure behaviors, quantify risk, and adapt interventions in real time. 

Today’s Challenges
- Outdated content leads to low employee engagement.
- Effort-intensive programs waste security resources. 
- Lack of impact metrics reduces executive buy-in. 

How AI Strengthens Your Protection
- Transform real-world attacks into personalized, adaptive simulations.
- Deliver just-in-time coaching the moment risky behaviors occur.
- Automate program management to free up security resources.

How to Start
- Focus on outcomes over completions or click rates.
- Connect human risk signals to your broader security stack.
- Start with phishing risk reduction, then expand to other behaviors.
- Use AI to scale personalized interventions.

Key Takeaway:
Security awareness is no longer about knowledge alone. The future is measurable, AI-powered human risk reduction.

Register now to learn how AI turns security awareness into measurable human risk reduction.

Awareness to Action: How to Reduce Human Risk with AI

Email threats continue to evolve—and legacy security solutions aren’t keeping pace. Static rules and signature-based detection fall short against socially engineered attacks, leaving security teams to make reactive, manual changes. In contrast, behavioral AI learns what’s normal across your cloud environment to stop novel, payload-less threats that legacy tools miss.

On September 30, 2025, at 2:00 pm ET, join Abnormal AI Solution Architect Jihad Nance for an engaging session on how Abnormal eliminates manual tuning while delivering stronger, more adaptive protection. He’ll share real-world examples of advanced attacks that bypass legacy SEGs, including VIP impersonation, callback phishing, QR code phishing, and invoice fraud. You’ll also hear from Abnormal customer Steve Tieland, Sr. Director, Corporate Security Operations at Pegasystems, as he shares his firsthand experience displacing the SEG and the business impact of making the shift.

In this webinar, you’ll discover how to:

* Strengthen defenses against advanced social engineering attacks
* Detect threats without relying on static rules or signatures
* Reduce SOC workload and improve operational efficiency
* Protect your business from costly financial fraud

Back to School, Back to Security: A CISO Fireside Chat with Clemson University

According to a recent survey conducted by Abnormal, cloud account compromise is the primary concern among security leaders and practitioners in all industries. The average organization’s cloud environment consists of email platforms, cloud infrastructure, and roughly 300 SaaS applications. 86% of respondents to that same survey felt that current security tools are ineffective in protecting their organizations from account compromise.

To address this gap, Abnormal is extending its AI-native platform to seamlessly integrate with the cloud and SaaS applications organizations use daily, transforming the way security teams monitor and protect cloud identities.

Join our live webinar to discover how Abnormal will deliver a two-layered approach to stopping cloud account compromise.

You’ll learn about our:
- Out-of-the-box integrations to cloud applications like Salesforce, Okta, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provide unified visibility and response
- Automated account takeover protection, leveraging human behavior AI to do the work of monitoring user activity across platforms, detecting and correlating signs of compromise, and automatically remediating accounts*
