The AI Threat: Protecting Education from AI-Generated Email Attacks

Across K–12 and higher ed, cybercriminals are leveraging generative AI to launch more targeted, scalable, and convincing attacks than ever before, and email remains a primary point of vulnerability. AI-crafted phishing campaigns, business email compromise (BEC), and other advanced social engineering tactics can disrupt learning, compromise sensitive data, and erode trust.

Join the Center for Digital Education and Abnormal AI for a webinar where we’ll examine how generative AI is transforming the cyber threat landscape across all levels of education. Through real-world examples and expert insights, we’ll unpack the methods attackers are using today and the attack types expected to surge in both volume and complexity in the near future.

You’ll also learn how AI can be used defensively, powering the next generation of cybersecurity tools to help education leaders detect and respond to threats faster.

Whether you're protecting a school district or a university system, this session will equip you with the knowledge to adapt and defend against evolving AI-driven risks.
