Improve Detection Efficacy and Stop More Email Attacks
Secure email gateways (SEGs) fail to block spam, graymail, malware, and advanced email attacks. Stop more attacks across the entire spectrum of email threats when you replace your SEG with the combination of Abnormal Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) and Microsoft.
SEGs Were Not Made for Today’s Modern Threats
Secure email gateways were highly effective a decade ago, but they were not built to address the full spectrum of evolved threats in today’s modern cloud environment.
Rules- and Policies-Based
SEGs analyze known indicators of compromise (IOCs) like malicious links and attachments but modern business email compomise and phishing attacks are often text-based and lack suspicious signatures.
Limited Cloud Visibility
Enterprises can’t stop impersonation-based attacks because SEGs don’t account for contextual signals from cloud email providers like login frequency, location, devices, browsers used, and more.
No Supply Chain Context
Security teams miss sophisticated attacks that impersonate their trusted partners because SEG solutions don’t monitor the risk posture of the organization’s extended supply chain.
The Solution:
Abnormal ICES + Microsoft
Abnormal ICES + Microsoft
2,000+
BEC attacks blocked per customer per month.
$2.5M
largest vendor fraud email attack prevented in 2021.
240,000
malware attacks blocked in 2021.
“The tool is very effective at blocking not only clearly malicious email, but also BEC attack emails that have no discernibly malicious link or attachment.”
How Abnormal and Microsoft Improve Detection Efficacy

Broadens Visibility and Protection to Your Extended Supply Chain
Only Abnormal indexes all of your organization’s vendors, compiles them into a database, and continuously monitors them for threats, using federated data from across the entire customer base.
Prevents Unwanted Mail with High Efficacy
Abnormal and Microsoft block the same spam and graymail messages that SEGs detect, while also capturing additional messages that bypass existing infrastructure.

Prevents Modern Attacks with High Efficacy
Abnormal’s behavioral AI detects the malicious and unwanted emails that are payloadless, text-based, lack attack signatures, and originate from the inside of your company.
Blocking Email Attacks for the Enterprise
Abnormal blocks the full spectrum of attacks to protect your entire organization.
The Abnormal Difference
Abnormal’s unique approach helps security teams stop more attacks than a SEG.
API Integration
Provides access to a broad set of 45,000+ signals to enable Abnormal to analyze behavior and monitor the internal, East-West traffic that traditional email security solutions cannot monitor.
Behavioral AI
Profiles known-good behavior and detects anomalies that deviate from the baseline. By analyzing identity, behavior, and content, Abnormal’s behavioral AI understands the context and intent of every message.
Supply Chain Insights
Automatically identifies all vendors in your ecosystem to understand their individual risk level. By recognizing when a vendor may have a high risk of fraud, Abnormal knows when an email should be more heavily scrutinized for malicious activity.
