Business email compromise (BEC) remains one of the most costly cyber threats facing organizations, with attackers increasingly relying on convincing impersonation rather than malware to trick employees into sending money, sharing sensitive information, or granting access to corporate systems.
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 modern phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and account takeover (ATO) attacks bypass traditional email defenses and how behavioral AI can help security teams detect and respond to increasingly sophisticated threats.
Unlike traditional phishing campaigns that rely on malicious links or attachments, many BEC attacks appear to originate from trusted colleagues, executives, vendors, or business partners. With AI now enabling attackers to generate more convincing emails, distinguishing legitimate business communications from malicious requests has become increasingly difficult.
Because these attacks often lack obvious indicators of compromise, security teams are frequently left manually investigating suspicious emails, validating requests, and responding only after an account has already been compromised or fraudulent communications have been sent.
