Abnormal AI, the pioneer in AI-native human behavior security, announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security, marking the company’s second consecutive year in the Leaders Quadrant.
Gartner evaluated vendors based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. Among 14 vendors evaluated, Abnormal was placed furthest right on the Vision axis.
API-based approach
In the report, Gartner highlights that “the high volume of sophisticated, email-enabled social engineering attacks, combined with the difficulty in consistently quantifying true detection efficacy across the market, justifies organizations utilizing multiple vendors for comprehensive protection.” To better combat these sophisticated threats, there is growing potential in solutions that utilize behavioral AI and natural language processing to analyze user behavior and help detect anomalies.
The Abnormal Behavior Platform analyzes identity, behavior, and contextual signals in order to baseline normal activity and help identify deviations indicative of malicious activity. This API-based approach is designed to enable autonomous protection against a wide range of attacks — including business email compromise, credential phishing, and account takeover — without requiring cumbersome mail routing changes or complex configurations.
AI-native approach
“Being named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the second year in a row—while maintaining the furthest placement on Vision—is an incredible milestone for us,” said Evan Reiser, chief executive officer of Abnormal AI.
“We’re proud to see our AI-native approach continuing to drive innovation and impact as we build toward a future where understanding human behavior is the cornerstone of keeping people and organizations safe.”
