In 2025, one shift in cybersecurity became impossible to ignore: attackers are increasingly using AI to automate and personalize their campaigns, and humans remain the primary target. Traditional defenses—built for known threats and predictable patterns—were never designed for attacks that adapt at machine speed.

Abnormal AI was built for this reality. Rooted in behavioral understanding and AI-native automation, our platform protects people where legacy tools fall short. This year, we expanded that protection across new surfaces, new capabilities, and deeper identity context—strengthening our position as the Behavior Platform for protecting humans.

Here are the Top 10 innovations from Abnormal AI in 2025 that helped organizations stay ahead of modern threats.

1. AI Phishing Coach

Turning real threats into employee training.
Traditional awareness training can’t keep pace with modern email-based attacks. AI Phishing Coach delivers personalized simulations and video training based on the real attacks stopped by Abnormal. It builds resilience at the individual level, helping employees evolve alongside the threats they face.

2. Detection Accuracy Enhancements

Strengthening the core of the Abnormal Behavior Platform.
Throughout 2025, Abnormal delivered major upgrades to the behavioral engine that powers all detection decisions. Our core models now leverage 50 percent more features and more advanced architectures, along with expanded multilingual understanding. This enables proactive identification of tens of thousands of additional attack campaigns each week without increasing false positives.

We also expanded phishing coverage with new detectors for internal impersonation, brand impersonation, and compromised-sender attacks, reducing missed detections by 30 percent.

These enhancements strengthened precision, expanded protection against evolving threats, and reinforced the reliability customers expect from Abnormal's behavioral AI.

3. AI Data Analyst

Superhuman insight at the speed of a question.
Security teams shouldn’t spend hours preparing reports. AI Data Analyst enables teams to ask natural-language questions such as “What trends should I brief the board on?” and receive instant, contextualized insights. It transforms how organizations understand and communicate about the state of their email security.

4. Security Posture Management

Hardening the environment around every human.
While Abnormal protects people from socially engineered attacks, identity and configuration drift still create openings for compromise. Security Posture Management provides continuous visibility across Microsoft 365, surfacing risky settings, excessive permissions, and misconfigurations before they become breach points.

5. Unified Quarantine Release

A single workflow for modern SOC operations.
Analysts often lose time switching between consoles just to review quarantined messages. Quarantine Release brings emails quarantined by Microsoft 365 directly into Abnormal, enabling faster, more confident review and release in one streamlined workflow.

6. Calendar Invite Attack Remediation

Closing a fast-growing bypass vector.
Attackers are increasingly weaponizing calendar invites to deliver lures that evade traditional filters. This new feature allows Abnormal to autonomously identify and remove malicious events associated with remediated emails, protecting users in a channel that legacy defenses rarely monitor and extending coverage beyond the inbox.

7. URL Rewriting with Safelisting & Blocklisting

Defense-in-depth, reimagined for behavioral detection.
URL Rewriting adds an additional checkpoint: redirecting risky links through a safe evaluation layer. Combined with new self-service safelisting and blocklisting controls, customers gain more fine-grained protection and better visibility without sacrificing usability.

8. Microsoft Teams Threat Alerts & Remediation

Protecting humans wherever they collaborate.
As communication shifts beyond email, attackers follow. Abnormal enhanced its coverage for Teams with easy, one-click integration, Threat Log filtering, threat alert notifications, and the ability to remediate malicious messages directly from the Abnormal portal.

9. Misdirected Email Prevention

Stopping everyday mistakes before they turn into data loss.
Not all risk comes from attackers. Misdirected Email Prevention understands behavioral patterns and identity context to detect when a user is about to send sensitive information to the wrong recipient, alerting them before the mistake can lead to data exposure.

10. Graymail Detection Service Enhancements

Keeping inboxes focused on what matters.
We introduced a purpose-built graymail detection engine for Email Productivity to improve the classification and remediation of inbound graymail. Operating independently from Abnormal’s core threat detection engine, this separation enhances system efficiency, delivering faster message-move latency and higher detection accuracy. We also expanded Auto-safelisting to include all participants in an email conversation, not just the original sender. Together, these enhancements strengthen the Email Productivity experience, keeping inboxes focused on what matters while ensuring important threads continue uninterrupted.

2025 made one thing unmistakably clear: protecting humans requires understanding human behavior. As attackers adopt AI and communication channels continue to expand, behavioral detection and autonomous protection will only grow more essential.

In 2026, Abnormal will continue to deepen protection across the systems where people work, advance AI-native automation, and strengthen the behavioral foundations that make our platform unique.
