Abnormal Security is a cloud-based email security platform that leverages AI and behavioral data science to detect and block sophisticated email attacks that evade traditional email gateways. The company's core offering is an inbound email security solution that protects against business email compromise, phishing, malware, ransomware, social engineering, and other advanced threats.
Abnormal's platform establishes a baseline of normal behavior for each employee, vendor, and application within an organization's email environment. By understanding "known good" activity patterns, the AI can precisely identify anomalies and remediate malicious emails in real-time before they reach inboxes. This behavioral analysis approach provides more effective threat detection compared to traditional email security focused on indicators of compromise.
The platform integrates directly with cloud email providers like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace via an API, enabling rapid deployment without the need for a secure email gateway. Beyond inbound email protection, Abnormal also offers account takeover protection and SOC automation capabilities.
Abnormal expanded its platform in April 2023 to provide security monitoring and threat detection for collaboration apps like Slack, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. By ingesting identity signals from these additional data sources, the AI models can better understand cross-channel behavior and identify lateral movement by attackers across an enterprise's cloud environment.
Key customers and partnerships
Abnormal Security works with organizations across industries including government, finance, energy, manufacturing, technology, and consulting. Notable customers include PagerDuty, UserTesting, and Vungle, amongst others.
In January 2022, Abnormal announced a partnership with Microsoft to enhance native protection capabilities within Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

Menlo Security provides cloud-based security solutions centered around its patented Isolation Core technology. This technology creates an "air gap" between users and the internet, isolating the browsing process in the cloud to protect against web-based threats like phishing, drive-by exploits, and zero-day attacks. The company's Cloud Security Platform leverages this Isolation Core to enable secure internet access and browsing without compromising user experience.
Menlo Security's solutions aim to eliminate malware infections, including ransomware, by moving the fetch and execute functions of web browsing away from users' devices and networks. Only safe, non-executable content is rendered on users' devices, providing a seamless browsing experience while mitigating risks. The platform is designed to help organizations embrace cloud transformations securely without sacrificing data visibility, control, or user experience.
In March 2019, Menlo Security partnered with By Light to deliver a cloud-based internet isolation (CBII) solution for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), protecting over 3.5 million users worldwide across the US Department of Defense and its branches. This solution leverages Menlo's Cloud Platform and Isolation Core to secure internet access for defense officials deployed globally.
In January 2023, Menlo Security's Cloud Security Platform powered by its Isolation Core received Authorization to Operate (ATO) at the moderate level under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). The company also announced the detection of "Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats" (HEAT) that bypass traditional security defenses, highlighting the need for its Zero Trust approach.
Additionally, Menlo Security acquired an undisclosed company in February 2023, expanding its capabilities to address the evolving threat landscape.

Tessian is an email security company that focuses on protecting enterprises from threats arising due to human error. It leverages machine learning to build behavioral models for all employees and automatically detect security threats such as business email compromise, data exfiltration, phishing, and accidental data loss. Tessian's platform, referred to as "human layer security," notifies employees of these issues to help improve individual security behaviors.
In May 2021, Tessian had raised a total of USD 123.7 million in funding and was valued at USD 500 million. At that time, the company planned to invest in research and development, expand its product offerings beyond email security, and grow its workforce globally.
Tessian's approach proved effective, as evidenced by a report from July 2022 that found US employees sent an average of four emails to the wrong person each month in the first nine months of 2021. Nearly one-third of employees who reported such incidents indicated their business lost a client or customer due to the error.
In December 2023, Proofpoint, a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, acquired Tessian. The acquisition aimed to combine Proofpoint's threat and data loss protection technology with Tessian's AI-powered behavioral and dynamic detection capabilities. This integration was expected to provide organizations with a comprehensive defense against human-targeted threats and prevent data loss across various collaboration channels.
