Webinar: Why account takeovers remain one of the hardest threats to stop
Organizations continue to invest in phishing defenses, identity protection, and multi-factor authentication, yet account takeover attacks remain one of the most disruptive security incidents facing enterprises today.
On July 8, 2026, 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 attackers gain access to legitimate accounts, why traditional security controls often struggle to detect account compromise quickly, and how behavioral AI can help security teams accelerate investigations and response.
Modern account takeover attacks frequently rely on trusted identities, legitimate cloud services, and compromised business accounts rather than obviously malicious activity. As a result, attackers can blend into normal business operations while maintaining access to email, collaboration platforms, and corporate resources.
Security teams are often left investigating suspicious messages, unusual login activity, and user reports long after attackers have established a foothold.
Abnormal AI helps organizations identify abnormal account behavior and automate investigation workflows, enabling analysts to detect compromised accounts faster and respond more efficiently.
Attendees will learn practical approaches for identifying account compromise earlier, reducing manual investigation work, and limiting the impact of account takeover attacks.
Compromised accounts are difficult to distinguish from legitimate users
Unlike traditional malware attacks, account takeover incidents often involve legitimate credentials, trusted devices, and normal business communications.
This makes compromised accounts significantly harder to identify using traditional security controls alone.
This webinar will explore how behavioral AI can help security teams identify unusual behavior patterns, investigate suspicious activity automatically, and accelerate remediation before attackers can expand their access.
The upcoming webinar will cover:
- How phishing, BEC, and account takeover attacks lead to compromised business accounts
- Why attackers increasingly rely on legitimate identities and trusted services
- The challenges security teams face when investigating potential account compromise
- How behavioral AI can automate detection, investigation, and remediation workflows
- Practical techniques for reducing response times and limiting the impact of account takeovers
Join us to learn how organizations can detect compromised accounts faster and improve their ability to respond before small incidents become major security events.
