BleepingComputer to Host Webinar on Behavioral AI for Email Security

BleepingComputer is scheduled to host a live webinar on July 8 focused on how organizations can better defend against modern email-based attacks. The session, titled “Stop chasing alerts: Automating email security with behavioral AI,” will examine why phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and account takeover (ATO) continue to challenge security teams even as companies invest in traditional defenses.

The webinar will feature Dan Nickolaisen, Solutions Architect Manager at Abnormal AI, and Eric Danneker, Director of Cyber Vigilance and Defense at Novant Health. According to the announcement, the discussion will center on how attackers are increasingly relying on legitimate services, trusted identities, and convincing impersonation tactics instead of obvious malware or malicious attachments.

Why email threats are harder to spot

Security teams have long depended on secure email gateways, identity controls, and multi-factor authentication to reduce risk. However, newer attack methods can slip through those layers by imitating normal business activity. Techniques such as device code phishing and trusted sender impersonation are designed to look routine, which can make them difficult to identify through traditional rules-based systems.

The result is often more manual work for defenders. Analysts may need to review suspicious messages, verify user behavior, and respond after an attacker has already built trust inside the environment. The webinar will explore how behavioral AI can help reduce that burden by identifying unusual communication patterns and supporting automated investigation and response.

Topics expected in the session

• How phishing, BEC, and ATO attacks are bypassing standard email controls
• Why device code phishing and impersonation remain effective
• The operational strain caused by alert fatigue and manual triage
• Ways behavioral AI can assist with detection and response workflows
• Practical steps for improving email security posture

The event is aimed at security professionals looking for strategies to speed up response times while reducing the workload associated with email threats. Registration remains open ahead of the live session.
