GoKawiilFor years, organizations have relied on secure email gateways, reputation services, and signature-based detection to stop phishing attacks before they reached employees. While these technologies remain important, today's email threats increasingly exploit trusted identities and legitimate business workflows that often appear completely normal.
Next week, on July 8, 2026 at 2 PM ET, BleepingComputer will host a live webinar titled "Stop chasing alerts: Automating email security with behavioral AI" presented by Dan Nickolaisen, Solutions Architect Manager at Abnormal AI, and Eric Danneker, Director of Cyber Vigilance and Defense at Novant Health.
The webinar will examine how modern phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and account takeover (ATO) attacks bypass traditional email defenses and how behavioral AI can help security teams automate detection, investigation, and remediation.
Many of today's attacks don't rely on malicious attachments, known malware, or suspicious domains. Instead, attackers increasingly impersonate trusted colleagues, vendors, and business partners while abusing legitimate authentication workflows to blend into everyday business communications.
As a result, security teams often face lengthy investigations to determine whether an email is malicious, whether an account has been compromised, and what actions should be taken to contain the threat.
Abnormal AI applies behavioral AI to analyze communication patterns and account activity, helping organizations identify suspicious behavior, reduce manual investigations, and accelerate response workflows.
Attendees will learn practical approaches for identifying sophisticated email threats that traditional security controls may overlook while improving operational efficiency through automation.
Modern email attacks are changing faster than traditional defenses
Email remains one of the most effective ways for attackers to gain access to organizations because many campaigns now exploit trust rather than technical vulnerabilities.
Rather than relying solely on malware or credential theft, threat actors increasingly impersonate legitimate business contacts, abuse trusted authentication workflows, and compromise existing accounts to evade traditional security controls.
