When the attacker becomes the user: Rethinking account takeover

Account takeover is a growing threat where attackers compromise legitimate email accounts to carry out malicious activities, such as stealing money, expropriating data, and propagating malware.

The solution involves a collaborative approach between email security and SaaS monitoring to contain damage and prevent wider impact.
