Compromised account detections deemed to be high-risk are automatically remediated.

Abnormal is also launching AI Security Mailbox designed to serve as a personal AI cyber assistant for employees reporting an attack by providing a personalized response explaining if the email was deemed malicious, safe, or spam and how a determination was made.

Abnormal now integrates with more cloud accounts, including:

• Email: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
• Identity: Azure Active Directory, Okta, Ping
• SaaS/Collaboration: Atlassian, Box, DocuSign, Dropbox, Google Drive, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, Workday, Zendesk, Zoom
