In 2024, Abnormal extended account-takeover protection beyond email to identity, collaboration and cloud applications. An investigation that started with an unusual email could now draw on behavior in other systems tied to the same user.
Abnormal AI looks for anomalous behavior in email and accounts, including messages associated with impersonation and account takeover. Cyera starts with sensitive data and the identities that can access it, so its remit is closer to exposure management than email defense.
