The Phishing Renaissance: Why Today's Attacks Bypass Yesterday's Defenses

Thursday, March 19th | 2:00 - 2:45 PM ET

Phishing has entered a renaissance. Email attacks we thought we'd solved are back, rebuilt with AI and more dangerous than ever. Today's threats are hyper-personalized, adaptive, and engineered to slip past Secure Email Gateways undetected. 

In this session, Audian Paxson from IRONSCALES breaks down what the phishing renaissance actually looks like: attacks that morph in real time, business email compromise that mimics trusted contacts with near-perfect accuracy, and social engineering tactics that exploit how people actually work, not just what they click. You'll learn why traditional email security architectures are falling behind, what's shifted in the threat landscape over the last 18 months, and how AI-powered detection and end-user engagement are closing the gaps that SEGs leave wide open. Whether you're running a gateway and wondering what's getting through, or re-evaluating your email security stack entirely, this session gives you a clear picture of where phishing is headed and what to do about it.
