Fortifying Cal-Secure: The Abnormal Advantage

Cal-Secure was created in response to the escalating and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that pose significant risks to California’s State Entities and critical infrastructure.

Recognizing the potential for severe economic, operational, and reputational damage from cyber attacks, Cal-Secure aims to establish a robust cybersecurity framework that proactively identifies, mitigates, and responds to these evolving threats—ensuring the safety and security of California’s digital assets.

By exploiting new technologies like generative AI, threat actors can carry out advanced attacks faster and more efficiently than ever before. Socially-engineered threats prey on the human vulnerability to bypass traditional security measures, leading to severe disruptions in governmental operations and public services.

The evolving nature of these attacks necessitates a proactive and multifaceted cybersecurity approach, leveraging advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and mitigate potential risks in real time.

Through the power of AI, Abnormal stops attacks that target human behavior—reinstating trust in digital communications for Californians and empowering security teams to do more.

The Abnormal platform baselines known good behavior across employees and vendors by analyzing every email from every identity using thousands of contextual signals. By understanding known behavior, Abnormal can detect malicious activity that may indicate an attack.

This approach builds risk-aware detection models to stop all types of inbound email attacks, automatically constructing searchable knowledge engines with detailed profiles of the organization’s employees and vendors and continuously monitoring their risk levels.

As a cloud-native, API-based email security platform, Abnormal leverages advanced behavioral data science to stop never-before-seen attacks that evade traditional security tools. Unlike legacy email security solutions that rely on static rules and policies, Abnormal uses a fundamentally different approach to precisely detect and automatically remediate email threats.

In order to align with Cal-Secure, California's innovative cybersecurity strategy, Abnormal's technology is instrumental in safeguarding State Government email systems against sophisticated cyber threats—ensuring robust protection and compliance with the State's stringent security standards.
