99% of organizations are actively targeted by account takeover attacks — and 67% have experienced a successful one. Yet most security teams are still defending against only part of the problem.

Account takeover has two distinct sides: how a credential is obtained, and what an attacker does once they have it. AI is making the first side harder to stop — generating convincing lures at scale, exploiting the trust users place in familiar interfaces, and driving a 66% impact rate for precision attacks versus 29% for brute force. And with 71% of people knowingly taking risky actions, human behavior ensures that even well-defended environments remain exposed.

Join us for a 30-minute webinar where we will break down both sides of the attack chain, examine why defending against only one leaves critical gaps, and explore what a complete layered defense requires. You'll hear directly from a security practitioner and a Proofpoint product expert on how organizations are rethinking their approach — and what closing every gap looks like in practice. You'll leave with:

• A framework for understanding the full ATO attack chain across both sides
• Perspective on how AI is changing the threat landscape — and why trust itself is now an attack vector
• A practical model for closing both sides through layered, automated defense
