Three years ago, Abnormal and CrowdStrike partnered with a shared mission: stop modern cyberattacks by combining behavioral AI with industry-leading endpoint and identity protection.

Since then, our collaboration has evolved into a multi-layered set of capabilities that unify email, identity, endpoint, and SIEM workflows. Together, we’ve helped joint customers break down security silos, accelerate investigations, and stop sophisticated attacks that traditional tools miss.

As we mark this three-year milestone, we’re proud of how far the partnership has come, and the tangible impact it delivers for security teams.

Email and endpoints remain two of the largest and most heavily targeted attack surfaces. Attackers increasingly rely on social engineering, account takeover, and malware-laced attachments to evade traditional, signature-based defenses.

Security teams are left stitching together alerts across disconnected systems to build a coherent picture of activity across email, identity, endpoint, and cloud. Every manual step delays response while attackers advance.

Abnormal and CrowdStrike set out to solve this challenge by connecting high-fidelity behavioral signals across domains. The result is a tightly integrated set of capabilities that empowers security teams to move from fragmented visibility to unified detection and response.

Over the past three years, that vision has taken shape through three powerful integrations.

Our partnership began with a bi-directional integration between Abnormal’s Email Account Takeover Protection and CrowdStrike Falcon® Identity Protection.

This integration breaks down the traditional barriers between email and endpoint by continuously sharing high-fidelity risk signals in both directions:

• When CrowdStrike detects suspicious identity activity—such as anomalous authentication behavior—it can automatically trigger an Account Takeover (ATO) case within the Abnormal platform. From there, security teams can investigate email-layer activity and take immediate remediation steps, such as logging users out, terminating sessions, or forcing password resets.

• When Abnormal detects a potentially compromised email account, the platform sends a signal back to CrowdStrike. The associated identity is automatically added to a Watched Users list in Falcon® Identity Protection, enabling CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion SOAR workflows to enforce containment actions like multifactor authentication or endpoint-level controls.

This closed-loop detection and remediation model ties together identity, endpoint, and email signals into a single, coordinated response. Instead of manually correlating alerts across tools, analysts gain enriched context and automated playbooks that reduce investigation time and downstream risk.

As threats grow more complex, security teams need a unified, SIEM-level view of activity across their environment. To support this, Abnormal and CrowdStrike introduced an Abnormal Data Ingestion for Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM.

This integration brings high-fidelity email threat telemetry directly into the CrowdStrike Falcon® Platform, enabling customers to:

• Ingest Abnormal’s advanced email attack detections directly into the Falcon® Platform.

• Correlate these signals with endpoint, identity, and network data inside Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM.

• Automate response with Falcon® Fusion, using Abnormal signals to trigger policy-based actions across EDR, web proxies, CASB, and other tools.

By normalizing and centralizing Abnormal’s detections inside the Falcon® Platform, this integration turns email events into actionable SIEM signals, improving visibility, accelerating investigations, and reducing the manual effort required to connect the dots across disparate systems.

As Brian Miller, CISO at Healthfirst, shared:

“With the CrowdStrike-Abnormal integration, we have higher fidelity information going back and forth, and we’re getting better information right at the edge of our network so we have enriched data that's going to our SIEM. As a result, I'm getting higher fidelity alerts and the ability to automate more of the process before I alert our analysts.”

Most recently, Abnormal and CrowdStrike extended the partnership with an integration for CrowdStrike’s Malware Analysis Agent within CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary Intelligence Premium, giving security teams deeper insight into suspicious email attachments without disrupting existing SOC workflows.

With this integration, joint customers can:

• Turn high-confidence email detections into deeper investigations, sending suspicious attachments flagged by Abnormal directly to CrowdStrike’s Malware Analysis Agent for rapid static and dynamic analysis backed by Falcon® Adversary Intelligence Premium.

• Centralize and accelerate response for file-based threats by viewing threat context, attachment metadata, and malware verdicts alongside endpoint and identity telemetry in the Falcon® Platform. This strengthens defense-in-depth without manual file exports or additional tools.

Joint customers gain a defense-in-depth layer for file-based threats without adding tools, exporting files, or sacrificing speed.

Across these three integrations, the impact is consistent: richer visibility, faster investigations, and more confident response. Joint customers use Abnormal and CrowdStrike together to:

• Uncover compromised endpoints and email accounts that traditional tools miss.

• Break down data silos by correlating email, identity, and endpoint events into single, high-fidelity views.

• Automate response workflows that stop lateral movement, enforce reauthentication, and block malicious infrastructure before attackers can escalate.

Together, the combined solution strengthens security posture while reducing operational strain on internal teams.

Three years in, the Abnormal–CrowdStrike partnership has grown from a single integration to a connected ecosystem across email, identity, endpoint, SIEM, and malware analysis. Yet the core goal remains the same: make life easier for security analysts while raising the bar for attackers.

As threats evolve, and as AI reshapes both offensive and defensive capabilities, we’ll continue investing in integrations that match how modern SOCs actually work:

• Connecting early indicators of compromise across email, identity, and endpoint

• Enriching investigations with behavioral context and AI-driven insights

• Automating response actions to reduce dwell time and downstream risk
  

“As we look ahead, we’re committed to deepening our CrowdStrike integrations so joint customers can rely on a single, AI-native signal fabric across email, identity, and endpoint. This partnership is central to how we help security teams improve efficacy while reducing operational friction.”
