Misdirected Email Prevention

Prevent misdirected outbound emails before they reach the wrong inbox.

Key Insights

Misdirected emails are a leading cause of data loss and compliance violations, often triggered by selecting wrong recipients or mistyping domains.

Legacy email security tools cannot detect human sending errors, forcing security teams into time-consuming manual reviews.

Abnormal uses behavioral AI analyzing recipient context, communication patterns, and metadata to catch misdirected emails with no tuning required.

Flagged emails are automatically quarantined in Microsoft's native quarantine, and senders are notified to resolve issues without SOC involvement.

An Outbound Log provides full visibility into misdirected email incidents, unifying inbound and outbound email security in one interface.

Accidentally sending emails to the wrong recipient is a leading cause of data loss and compliance violations. Whether it’s selecting the wrong “John Smith” or mistyping a domain, these mistakes happen in fast-paced environments, but can result in exposing sensitive information, breaching privacy laws, or triggering costly remediation.

Legacy email security tools weren’t built to prevent these human errors. Without real-time detection, security teams are forced to rely on manual reviews, wasting valuable hours and leaving organizations vulnerable to accidental exposure​​​.
