How AI is Changing the Account Takeover Playbook

Account takeover (ATO) still follows a familiar playbook, but AI is accelerating every stage of the attack lifecycle. Threat actors are using AI to improve reconnaissance, automate credential attacks, and move faster after gaining access, increasing both the speed and impact of modern account compromise. In fact, 85% of compromised accounts show evidence of post-access activity, underscoring that attackers rarely stop once they're in. Join us for a 60-minute session with Proofpoint threat researchers and product experts for an inside look at how AI is reshaping account takeover and what security teams can do to respond. On November 3, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific join sponsor Proofpoint and host ISC2 to learn:

- How the modern ATO lifecycle has evolved across pre-compromise, compromise and post-compromise activity.

- The latest threat intelligence on AI-driven attacker behavior, targeting trends and post-access activity.

- How defenders are adapting detection and response strategies to reduce dwell time, improve visibility and ease SOC workload.
