Abnormal Security's visibility into internal spam attacks, thanks to its API-based architecture, has been exceptional. It's incredibly fast, with no delays, unlike other solutions that can introduce lag times of up to ten minutes. For executives, this is unacceptable. Having direct API integration is a game-changer. It provides clear visibility into messages and is remarkably user-friendly. There's no need for days of training on the admin dashboard; it's intuitive and straightforward. Clicking here and there is all it takes to search for emails. The interface displays delivery details, current location, and the processing outcome, indicating whether the email was deemed spam and moved to junk or considered legitimate. Abnormal Security's full-spectrum email attack detection has proven effective in protecting us against various threats, including credential phishing, invoice fraud, extortion attempts, and name impersonation. On rare occasions where emails slip through the cracks, reporting them leads to swift remediation within two hours, accompanied by training updates to prevent similar occurrences. I haven't encountered similar emails after submitting reports. It is important that threats can be detected in cloud collaboration applications such as Slack Teams and Zoom. Anything that will help protect our organization is valuable. The Proof of Concept for Abnormal Security demonstrated its effectiveness by catching threats that Mimecast missed. Its AI and machine learning expand the range of email attacks it can stop, while also reducing false positives. We had significant issues with our previous provider, Mimecast, experiencing numerous false positives reported by various teams. When I suggested that the system should be smarter, the response was usually dismissive. Thankfully, I don't encounter this issue with Abnormal Security. The biggest example I can give involves impersonation attacks. With Mimecast, any new employee creating an account on Thursday and then receiving emails from our recruiting team on the same day would trigger an impersonation alert, despite the recruiting team having prior interactions with that person. Abnormal Security, however, recognizes that the new account was recently created, the older account has a history of sending emails, and there was prior communication between the two accounts, accurately concluding that this is not an impersonation attempt. While we could potentially collect flight data to further solidify this, Abnormal Security's intelligence allows it to understand that such activity from a new employee is legitimate. We haven't experienced any false positives or false negatives with Abnormal Security. The AI and machine learning capabilities have helped reduce the number of attacks that get through. We have another solution that we placed in front of Abnormal Security for added security and we found that Abnormal Security is catching emails that were phishing extortion invoice fraud that the other solution didn't recognize as a threat. Abnormal Security has reduced the amount of time our team spends on email incidents by a minimum of four to five hours per week. It helped reduce the cost of redundant security email gateway solutions. Previously, our solution lacked warnings about potential security issues. Abnormal Security, however, has identified a couple of instances where it flagged suspicious activity. For example, it might alert us that someone's account seems compromised and suggest taking action. If we don't intervene, Abnormal Security will automatically handle the situation. Importantly, these alerts provide valuable insights we never had before, such as identifying VPN usage. This increased visibility significantly enhances our security posture.
