Abnormal Security is an AI-powered email security platform that uses behavioral analysis to protect organizations from advanced threats like business email compromise (BEC), credential phishing, account takeover, and vendor email compromise. Unlike traditional email gateways, Abnormal deploys via API integration with cloud email platforms, learning normal user behavior to detect anomalies in real-time.
Abnormal's core Inbound Email Security starts at $3 per user/month with AI-driven threat detection and automated remediation. Add-on modules include Account Takeover Protection (monitors email and identity platforms for compromised accounts), AI Security Mailbox Automation (automates abuse mailbox triage), and Email Productivity features. Pricing for full deployments varies based on organization size and selected modules.
Abnormal is designed for organizations facing sophisticated attacks that bypass traditional defenses. The API-based approach enables rapid deployment (often within hours) without disrupting mail flow. Many customers deploy Abnormal alongside existing email gateways for an additional AI-powered detection layer, particularly effective against evolving social engineering tactics.

Add-on modules like Account Takeover Protection, AI Security Mailbox Automation, and Email Productivity are priced separately from the core product.
04 How does Abnormal Security compare to traditional email gateways?
Abnormal uses API-based integration with AI behavioral analysis, unlike traditional gateways (Proofpoint, Mimecast, Barracuda) that use inline filtering. Abnormal learns normal user behavior and detects anomalies—effective against sophisticated BEC and credential phishing. Traditional gateways offer broader features (archiving, DLP, encryption). Abnormal is often deployed alongside existing gateways for additional AI-powered protection.
05 Is Abnormal Security easy to implement?
Yes, users consistently report quick and simple implementation via API integration with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Most deployments complete within hours with minimal IT effort. No hardware or complex configuration required. The API-based approach means no impact on mail flow, making it attractive for organizations wanting to add AI-powered detection without replacing existing infrastructure.
06 What makes Abnormal Security different from Proofpoint or Mimecast?
Abnormal focuses exclusively on AI-powered behavioral detection without traditional signature-based filtering. It deploys via API (not inline gateway), making setup faster. Abnormal excels at detecting sophisticated attacks like BEC and account takeover by analyzing behavior patterns. Proofpoint and Mimecast offer broader features (archiving, encryption, DLP) with inline filtering. Abnormal is often used as an add-on layer rather than a replacement.
