NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Over the past year, Abnormal Security has transformed how organizations defend their most vulnerable attack surface — human communication — by deploying a pioneering, behavior-based AI platform that stops phishing, business email compromise, and account takeovers in real time.

The Abnormal Behavior Platform integrates with email systems (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) and SaaS/cloud applications (Salesforce, Workday, Slack, AWS, and more) via API to ingest thousands of behavioral signals. By modeling identity, relationships, and communication patterns, our system detects anomalies — even ones never seen before — and autonomously neutralizes threats within milliseconds.

What sets Abnormal apart is its behavioral‑AI first architecture. Rather than relying solely on known indicators of compromise, we build a dynamic baseline of “normal” human behavior for each user and sender, allowing us to spot subtle deviations that traditional filters and legacy secure email gateways would miss. This approach gives us a predictive edge, particularly as attackers leverage generative AI to craft highly personalized, context-aware attacks.

Strengths and achievements over the past year include:
• Scalable adoption & customer trust: Over 3,000 organizations now rely on Abnormal, including more than 20 percent of the Fortune 500.
• Rapid revenue growth: We surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue following our $250 million Series D funding at a $5.1 billion valuation.
• Industry recognition: We were named a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Email Security Platforms in 2024.
• Operational efficiency & risk reduction: On average, customers report a 90% reduction in phishing attacks reaching end users, a 50% decrease in SOC email‑security headcount, and multiple active breaches detected instantly per customer.
• Ethical and responsible AI: Our platform is designed to both understand and protect human behavior rather than override it. Our transparency, governance, and commitment to data privacy remain central to how we build.

In closing, Abnormal Security deserves recognition because we are not just applying AI to security — we are reimagining email and cloud defense around the human user. Our behavioral-AI innovation delivers measurable reductions in risk, scalable savings for security operations, and trust from some of the world’s largest enterprises. With our strong growth, real-world impact, and deep commitment to responsible AI, we are uniquely positioned to win in the category of Best AI-Powered Threat Detection & Response Platform — and set a new standard for how AI defends people.
