RVAsec is happy to announce Abnormal Security as a Gold and Keynote sponsor for RVAsec 11!
Secure email gateways and built-in security within Microsoft and Google struggle to block socially-engineered attacks that pass reputation checks, have no links or attachments, and appear to come from trusted sources.
Abnormal profiles known good behavior and analyzes over 45,000 signals to detect anomalies that deviate from these baselines. Only Abnormal precisely blocks all socially-engineered and unwanted emails—both internal and external—and detects and remediates compromised accounts.
