## About this session

 

Email remains one of the most important attack surfaces for organisations, but the way attackers operate is changing.

AI is making phishing, impersonation, Business Email Compromise and social engineering attacks more convincing, more personalised and harder to identify.

In this second session of The New Microsoft Security Challenge , FRCI explores the evolving email threat landscape and how Microsoft Defender for Office 365 can help organisations respond with intelligent, multi-layered protection.

The session brings the discussion from the evolving threat landscape to the technologies and capabilities organisations can use to defend themselves.

Is your organisation protected against the way attacks happen today, or the way they used to happen?
