Abnormal AI utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning for safeguarding businesses from email threats, including phishing and targeted attacks. However, while Abnormal AI 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 AI 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 30,000+ 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.

 

IRONSCALES also offers an integrated platform incorporating phishing simulation testing and security awareness training solutions alongside our core email security. Abnormal AI offers trigger-based, just-in-time (JIT) training based on employees' profiles and recent inbox attacks, but they stop at general awareness. IRONSCALES SAT moves the needle further with compliance-specific training adhering to SOC2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and other compliance and regulatory mandates.

 

By putting employees “in the loop,” IRONSCALES adds dynamic, context-aware warning banners and a one-click Report Phishing button. Those user signals, plus feedback from a global community of 17,000+ organizations, feed directly back into detections and response, helping catch attacks pure AI might miss while speeding cleanup across the tenant.

 

IRONSCALES provides clear, auditable reasons behind detections and actions, so you get outcomes you can trust, not a black box. For businesses looking for a comprehensive email security solution that includes the best of AI and human insights, IRONSCALES is the clear choice.
