Founded by AI Insiders and Cyber Outsiders
In 2010, the founders leveraged AI's ability to make billions of real-time decisions in AdTech—building a successful AI company that was acquired by Twitter/X. In 2018, they founded Abnormal to apply their AI learnings to a greater mission: protecting humans from cybercrime.
Recognized a New Paradigm Required to Protect Humans
Conventional cybersecurity approaches used to protect infrastructure from known attacks were ineffective in protecting humans from socially-engineered, never-before-seen attacks. We knew there had to be a better way.
Realized the Power of Behavioral AI to Uniquely Protect Humans
We strongly believed that behavioral AI was the answer. With its distinctive ability to make millions of contextual judgements about human behavior in milliseconds, we realized its power in detecting anomalies and autonomously stopping attacks.
Founded as an AI-Native Company
Abnormal was founded as the first AI-native cybersecurity company. The Abnormal Behavior Platform was architected with AI from the beginning—leveraging machine learning natively to ensure higher accuracy, faster speeds, and greater efficiency compared to AI add-ones or retrofitted products.
