Abnormal Security announced the company has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference 2021 Innovation Sandbox Contest for its breakthrough cloud-native email security platform that stops modern email attacks through behavioural data science.
On May 19, Abnormal Security will present its email security platform to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live virtual audience in a three-minute pitch, competing for the coveted title of “Most Innovative Start-Up” at RSA Conference 2021.
Behavioural data science
Abnormal Security delivers a fundamentally different approach to stopping email attacks that are undetectable
Abnormal Security delivers a fundamentally different approach to stopping novel, sophisticated email attacks that are undetectable by legacy secure email gateways.
Through one-click API integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, the Abnormal platform uniquely leverages behavioural data science to profile and baseline good behavior to detect anomalies and compromised accounts. The Abnormal AI threat detection engine models the identity of both employees and external senders creates relationship graphs and analyses email content to effectively stop targeted socially-engineered attacks.
AI-powered detection
“Secure email gateways miss advanced email attacks because they lack the typical threat intelligence signals, such as bad reputation, suspicious links, or malicious attachments,” said Evan Reiser, CEO, and co-founder of Abnormal Security.
“Our AI-powered detection requires no configuration and delivers results immediately after integration, to block the most sophisticated, targeted, never-before-seen email attacks. Abnormal is serving some of the largest global enterprises and we look forward to the opportunity to show the Innovation Sandbox audience how we uniquely protect them from Business Email Compromise and other targeted email attacks.”
