AI agents are now reading, interpreting, and writing email before humans ever see it, and email security built for human inboxes can't protect them. As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, agents such as Microsoft Copilot are becoming active participants in communication workflows: summarizing messages, drafting replies, and triggering actions automatically. This creates a new attack surface, where malicious content in a single incoming email can influence AI behavior, trigger unsafe interpretations, or manipulate outgoing AI-generated communications.
Attackers no longer need a user to click anything. They only need an AI agent to read. Traditional and post-delivery email security models assume threats can be detected and remediated after they reach the inbox. In the agentic era, that assumption breaks down. When AI agents process email content the moment it arrives,
the damage happens instantly, before a user opens the message and before post-delivery remediation has a chance to respond.
Join Check Point's
Gil Friedrich, General Manager of Workspace Security, and
Yoav Shay Daniely, VP of Product Management, as they break down how Email Agent Hijacking works, why it marks a fundamental shift
from protecting human users to protecting AI systems, and how organizations can defend their AI agents from malicious email inputs and manipulated outputs.
In this webinar, we'll cover: - Why Email Agent Hijacking threats evade traditional email security approaches
- How email attacks have evolved since the EchoLeak exploit in Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Why post-delivery email security is ineffective when AI agents process email automatically
- How to protect AI agents from malicious email content and prevent manipulated outputs
- Why prevention-first email security is required for the agentic era
Don't miss the opportunity to learn how prevention-first email security can protect your organization as AI agents become part of every workflow.
