What is Abnormal Security?

Abnormal Security is an integrated cloud email security platform that uses artificial intelligence to detect and prevent targeted email attacks, such as business email compromise and phishing.

What does Abnormal Security do?

Abnormal Security uses AI to protect organizations from email threats like phishing and business email compromise by analyzing email behavior and communication patterns to detect anomalies.

Abnormal Security vs. IRONSCALES

Abnormal Security and IRONSCALES are both integrated cloud email security solutions (ICESs). They both leverage AI to detect advanced email attacks. The difference between the two is that IRONSCALES integrates human insights to make its ‘static AI’ into ‘adaptive AI,’ allowing it to adapt to emerging threats at a faster rate. Additionally, IRONSCALES also natively supports phishing simulation and training capabilities within its email security platform.

Security Email Gateway (SEG) vs Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES)

Gen 1 Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES), like Abnormal Security, relies entirely on static artificial intelligence for the detection and remediation of advanced email threats. Gen 2 ICES, like IRONSCALES, utilizes Adaptive AI that combines static AI with human insights to better enhance the platform’s threat detection. Gen 2 solutions also feature integrated phishing simulators and security awareness training.

Why Choose IRONSCALES over Abnormal Security

Choosing the right email and messaging security platform is foundational to the protection of your organization. This page compares two of the top-rated email security platforms — IRONSCALES and Abnormal Security — to help you choose the platform that’s right for you.

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 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.
