Expel Advanced Email Threats
Abnormal delivers AI-powered protection for colleges and universities—stopping advanced email and identity-based threats before they reach faculty or staff inboxes.

Automated detection and response reduce false positives and manual work, freeing security teams to focus on campus-wide priorities.
Prove Measurable Impact to Leadership
Real-time insights and streamlined reporting make it easy to demonstrate ROI and clearly communicate security impact to leadership and boards.
Our Impact
