Abnormal Security (Abnormal AI) - Experts & Thought Leaders

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.” AI Phishing Coach and AI Data Analyst This recognition follows a year of exceptional growth and innovation for Abnormal AI. In 2025, Abnormal launched its first autonomous AI agents—AI Phishing Coach and AI Data Analyst—to help organizations detect, remediate, and train themselves against threats in real time. The company also achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorization and earned the ISO/IEC 42001 AI governance certification, underscoring its commitment to both security and responsible AI. Abnormal now protects more than 25% of the Fortune 500 and continues its global expansion, recently entering new markets in Germany, Japan, and France. The year also brought strong industry and customer validation—from featuring on the CNBC Disruptor 50, to the Forbes Cloud 100, and the Fortune Cyber 60. Abnormal was also named a Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Email Security Platforms in July 2025, earning a 99% “Would Recommend” rating and, in our opinion, reaffirming the trust placed in Abnormal’s AI-native approach.

Abnormal AI, the pioneer in AI-native human behavior security, announced its updated Security Posture Management product, bringing AI-driven protection, automated prioritization, and remediation guidance to customers’ Microsoft 365 environments. As Microsoft 365 environments become more complex, accidental misconfigurations are now a major cause of cloud email vulnerabilities. The growing number of applications, layered settings, and fragmented ownership create blind spots and accidental openings that threat actors like Midnight Blizzard have exploited in the past. Microsoft 365 integration The new Security Posture Management add-on continuously detects misconfigurations across users, apps With deep Microsoft 365 integration and a proven ability to stop advanced email threats, Abnormal is ideally positioned to uncover these configuration risks. The new Security Posture Management add-on continuously detects misconfigurations across users, apps, and tenants, giving security teams the visibility and control they need to stay ahead of attackers. “Thousands of organizations rely on Abnormal to stop email-based attacks like phishing and account compromise. But attackers are also exploiting misconfigurations to bypass phishing defenses,” said Evan Reiser, CEO of Abnormal AI. Detect hidden risks “Because we already integrate deeply with Microsoft 365 to protect inbound email, we can extend our API-based architecture to detect these hidden risks. Security Posture Management gives security teams continuous visibility into misconfiguration risks across their entire Microsoft 365 environment,” continued Evan Reiser. Key capabilities include: Comprehensive Visibility: Continuously uncovers risky Microsoft 365 misconfigurations using CIS benchmarks and Abnormal threat intelligence. Automated Prioritization: Surfaces the most dangerous risks first by factoring in impact, prevalence, and environment. Remediation Guidance: Provides clear, actionable fixes with no manual audits or scripting.

Abnormal AI (Abnormal Security), the globally renowned company in AI-native human behavior security, has unveiled its most ambitious product release to date — introducing autonomous AI agents that revolutionize how organizations train employees and report on risk, while also evolving its email security capabilities to continue to stop the world’s most advanced email attacks. In a year defined by the explosive use of malicious AI for cybercrime, Abnormal is doubling down on its mission to protect people. With its AI-native platform, Abnormal’s newest innovations bring intelligent automation to security awareness training, executive reporting, and advanced email threat detection. Abnormal AI’s autonomous AI agents “The most dangerous attacks don’t target firewalls — they target people, and people need better protection,” said Evan Reiser, CEO and Founder of Abnormal AI, adding “Today, we’re introducing true AI agents that not only protect people from advanced cyber-attacks, but also eliminate the manual effort that’s bogging down security teams.” He continues, “From personalized phishing simulations to autonomous reporting and expanded threat remediation capabilities, these innovations represent a massive leap forward in how AI can be operationalized across the security stack.” Introducing Two New AI Agents AI Phishing Coach allows organizations to replace generic training with autonomous AI platform In a recent survey, 53% of security leaders agreed that the effort required to run and maintain their organization’s current security awareness training program isn’t worth the impact it appears to be having. To solve this pain point, the launch of AI Phishing Coach allows organizations to replace ineffective, generic training with a personalized, autonomous AI platform. By converting real attacks blocked by Abnormal into tailored simulations for each user, it delivers instant coaching modules when users click — no more canned videos or impersonalized courses. For company-wide training, AI-generated videos are created on-demand, branded, and customized to each organization's threat landscape. Abnormal’s behavioral AI engine Unlike legacy training platforms that rely on static templates and outdated scenarios, AI Phishing Coach uses real-time behavioral threat data to deliver hyper-relevant training experiences. Because it’s powered by Abnormal’s behavioral AI engine, it learns from each organization’s threat environment and adapts training dynamically — providing proactive education before attacks succeed. It’s like giving every employee their own AI-powered security mentor — without adding any operational burden to security teams. AI Data Analyst In addition to AI Phishing Coach, Abnormal is also launching AI Data Analyst to turn complex security data into instantly usable intelligence — providing admins with better reporting tools and saving teams dozens of hours in manual data aggregation. AI Data Analyst acts as an intelligent agent that proactively delivers reports directly to customers AI Data Analyst acts as an intelligent agent that proactively delivers reports directly to customers, highlighting the value Abnormal is bringing to their organization. Customers can then interact with the agent to ask follow-up questions, explore specific data points, or request customized board decks — complete with interactive slides and plain-language insights — tailored to showcase the impact of Abnormal AI on their security posture. Enhancing Email Security to Replace the SEG As email attacks continue to bypass legacy secure email gateways (SEGs), the Abnormal Behavior Platform has consistently outperformed traditional tools — and even human analysts. Currently, three-fourths of Abnormal customers have moved away from their third-party SEG. To support this shift and continue to provide more visibility and flexibility, Abnormal is rolling out three no-cost upgrades to Inbound Email Security, now available to all customers:  Quarantine Release: Consolidates Microsoft-quarantined emails into the Abnormal platform for streamlined triage and faster response. URL Rewriting: Adds user-facing warnings and click tracking for suspicious links, improving protection without disrupting the email experience. Enterprise Remediation Settings: Allows administrators to tailor remediation actions based on threat type and business context. Together, these enhancements make it easier than ever for organizations to fully replace their legacy tools while maintaining control, visibility, and peace of mind. Expanding Globally, Scaling Securely Earlier this month, Abnormal achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorization in only 256 days, paving the way for federal agencies to easily adopt the platform. Currently, the company is also announcing expanded operations into Germany, with Japan and France to follow later this year. With expansion, the Abnormal Behavior Platform will be tuned for the nuances and language needs of each market.
