Keep your security Abnormal Security
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Abnormal Security in 2 areas; 1) filtering spam and malicious emails, preventing the messages from entering the users' mailbox, and 2) automated response for reported suspicious emails.
Pros
- Spam filtering...we have been able to turn our spam sensitivity down on Exchange allowing more legitimate messages through to user inboxes.
- Malicious email filtering...we experienced several successful phishing attacks over the past year. Abnormal Security has prevented hundreds of individual campaigns since going live in August '22. I cannot thank them enough!
- Automated response for reported emails...my team is small and we do not have enough hours in a day to review and respond to each reported email. Abnormal Security performs additional analysis on those reports and automatically responds for us. If the message is spam or malicious, copies of those emails are looked for throughout the server and deleted.
Cons
- None so far, I have been extremely happy with their service.
Return on Investment
- Preventing compromises that have historically led to payroll or accounts payable threats.
