Abnormal Security is an AI-powered cloud email security platform that blocks sophisticated inbound email attacks and platform threats. Abnormal was founded in 2018 by Evan Reiser and Sanjay Jeyakumar, both veterans of companies like Twitter and Google, to leverage machine learning to analyze user behavior and detect anomalies that indicate an attack. Its core technology ingests data from email messages, user directories, and collaboration apps to build personalized profiles and identify deviations from normal activity patterns.
Within five years, Abnormal has grown to service over 15% of Fortune 500 companies and surpass $100 million in annual recurring revenue. The company plans to hire for 300+ new roles as it expands its product suite beyond email security to safeguard other cloud platforms and messaging applications. However, the rise of generative AI tools that enable sophisticated social engineering poses a key challenge that Abnormal must counter with its own "defensive AI" capabilities.
For prospective employees, Abnormal offers the opportunity to tackle novel cybersecurity problems and drive innovation in applied machine learning. The company's AI-first approach, backed by founders with extensive industry experience, provides an ideal environment for those passionate about building intelligent systems with real-world impact.
