Abnormal Security named leader in Gartner email security

Abnormal Security has announced its recognition as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms.

Gartner assessed 14 vendors in the email security market and placed Abnormal Security in the Leaders Quadrant. This placement acknowledges the firm's efforts in Completeness of Vision regarding handling present and future email threats and the Ability to Execute by achieving perceptible user results. Of all the vendors evaluated in the Magic Quadrant, Abnormal Security is positioned furthest in Completeness of Vision.

Gartner notes in the report that "Humans are increasingly incapable of identifying social engineering attacks as large language models (LLMs) are refined for purpose by attackers." Abnormal Security interprets this as a call for solutions that leverage behavioural artificial intelligence and natural language processing to assess user behaviour and identify deviations from the norm.

Abnormal's Human Behavior AI Platform distinguishes itself for its behavioural AI approach to tackling all email threats, including intricate social engineering exploits like business email compromise, credential phishing, and account takeovers. The platform connects through an API to assess thousands of indicators from multiple data sources and accurately establish baseline behaviours. Subsequently, autonomous AI models enable Abnormal Security to identify unusual actions and prevent previously unseen attacks with exceptional speed and precision.

Alongside its recognition in the Magic Quadrant, Abnormal Security was recently acknowledged as a Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Email Security. As of 19th December 2024, based on 263 reviews, Abnormal Security holds a 99% Would Recommend rating and an average rating of 4.8 on Gartner Peer Insights.

Abnormal Security's recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant and its strong customer ratings reflect the growing importance of advanced AI-driven email security solutions in addressing evolving cyber threats. As the threat landscape becomes increasingly sophisticated, platforms like Abnormal Security's Human Behavior AI are positioned to play a critical role in enhancing organisational resilience and protecting against targeted attacks.
