We have a separate Proofpoint email gateway, so Abnormal is what we consider to be defense in depth. It catches malicious emails that our primary email gateway misses, so we're depending on Abnormal to detect them for us. It also gives us trickier stuff, like zero-day threats. We also use Abnormal for our abuse mailbox. Our users have a "report phishing" button in Outlook. If they get any suspicious email that they think is malicious or spammy, they can click that button and report it to Abnormal. The Abnormal abuse mailbox automatically analyzes it and responds to the user as to whether it is safe spam or malicious. If it is safe, it sends a copy of the email back to the user so they don't have to look for it in their deleted items. We have close to 24,000 users. Not all of those are users because a large percentage of those work mainly in Salesforce, but many mailboxes. It's also three different Microsoft tenants because we acquired or merged with other companies throughout the years.

Our use case was to pull malicious emails that were getting through our secure email gateway and making it to our inboxes. We were trying to shrink that footprint from a typical 85% to less than 5%.

The primary need for the product, what drove us to that product, was a need for greater email security. We had been experiencing a series of executive impersonation attacks that our current email gateway was not able to pick up. People were pretending to be an executive at our organization and trying to get people to buy gift cards or send them the codes or complete an action or something along those lines for them. We did a proof of concept with Abnormal, and it did a really good job of preventing those attacks from happening.

We use Abnormal Security to protect us against phishing. We implemented Abnormal Security to reduce the number of phishing attacks that reach users, internal customers, and other users in our organization. This automated AI-driven technology replaces the need for multiple resources to review, identify, and block malicious emails.

At a high level, we leverage Abnormal Security for all spam filtering, but it is more than that. It is not your basic old spam filtering. They are finding things or phishing attempts that are very targeted, such as spear phishing emails that come through the pipeline and may look innocent or innocuous to most email security tools. Abnormal Security is able to spot them and essentially, mitigate and remediate them so that the users do not accidentally fall for something they should not.
Abnormal Security is a cloud-based email security platform designed to protect organizations from advanced targeted attacks, such as phishing and business email compromise (BEC), and account takeovers.

I use Abnormal Security to enhance my email and identity security. It helps prevent phishing, business email compromises, and user account takeovers.
