IRONSCALES provides a self-learning, AI-driven email security platform that continuously detects and remediates advanced threats like BEC, credential harvesting, ATO, and more, in milliseconds. The platform also incorporates employees into the organization’s fight against phishing with integrated email alert banners, report buttons, personalized phishing simulation testing, and advanced security awareness training (SAT).

Abnormal_Security_Logo

Abnormal Security utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning for safeguarding businesses from email threats, including phishing and targeted attacks. However, while Abnormal Security is effective at detecting and remediating a lot of malicious emails, but it lacks a crucial element to deal with attacks that it can’t detect—human insights. It is the power of human insights which is most important in dealing with attacks that even the best AI will miss.

Email Security in the 21st Century: Time for an Upgrade

The world of email security has undergone a massive transformation in the past two decades. Traditional secure email gateways (SEGs) are no longer adequate for today's complex threat landscape. Modern businesses require next-generation solutions employing AI, machine learning, and automation to counter advanced threats, such as business email compromise, account takeover, and VIP impersonation.

How are IRONSCALES and Abnormal Security Different?

IRONSCALES is a cloud-based email security solution that leverages AI and ML to combat advanced threats, similar to Abnormal Security. The key differentiator is the inclusion of human insights from end-users and 20,000+ analysts across the IRONSCALES network of global admins; this is the secret to helping enterprises detect attacks that AI alone misses, while orchestrating remediation through the power of automation.

Furthermore, by including employees in the fight against phishing with integrated email alert banners and report phishing buttons for M365 and GWS clients, IRONSCALES loops employees' insights into the AI to continuously train and advance autonomous security coverage.

IRONSCALES also offers powerful phishing simulation testing and security awareness training solutions based on employees' profiles and recent inbox attacks, being a powerful one-stop shop for companies looking for a single vendor for all their cloud email security needs.

For businesses looking for a comprehensive email security solution that includes the best of AI and human insights, IRONSCALES is the clear choice.

Why Choose IRONSCALES?

We reinvent how email and messaging are secured by fusing AI and human insights in a single platform.

❝

If you have any doubts that something like this can be done smoothly, don’t.

I didn’t think that a solution this effective and powerful could be implemented this quickly. We started with several 10s of users, and now we’re actively protecting more than 36,000, just like that. 
Ivan Milenkovic
Infosec Director, Webhelp
❝

I don’t hear anybody in the organization talking about how they got phished now

As a solution, IRONSCALES hands down beats the last one we had. It’s so much simpler, easy to use, easy to deploy—and you don’t have to spend hours making changes or adding code. No one is going to take its place.
Ruben Vega
Director, Unified Women's Healthcare
❝

IRONSCALES is a top solution of choice to protect your inboxes

The ease of use and few click integration make for a quick and effective implementation. Most importantly, the solution has proven to be effective while remaining very user friendly and saving our customers’ time.
Tyler Bradley
Sr. Security Engineer, LUCIDIA IT​
❝

People are going to click on emails and potentially malicious links

So having a platform like IRONSCALES in place that can auto-quarantine and classify emails as phishing, spam, or safe, keeps our clients secure and saves my team an exponential amount of time when it comes to identifying & remediating attacks.
