According to Gartner C-level Communities' 2026 Leadership Perspective Survey of more than 1,600 security leaders, assessing and managing cyber risk ranks as the second highest functional priority for CISOs this year. Within that focus, security leaders are prioritizing consistent risk quantification to demonstrate financial impact and support board-level reporting.
The challenge is that most security environments make answering those questions harder than they should be, with data spread across portal dashboards, manual exports, and ad-hoc BI queries that can take hours to assemble.
AI Data Analyst (AIDA) is Abnormal's answer to that problem, built directly into the Abnormal Behavioral Security Platform. Ask a question and get an answer grounded in your live Abnormal data, or schedule a report that runs automatically on your cadence, with no manual exports or ad-hoc data pulls.
AI Data Analyst gives CISOs and SOC teams instant, board-ready answers and recurring reports, backed by a unified Report Repository and Conversational Timeline
What Abnormal's AI Data Analyst Does
AIDA draws from the same behavioral intelligence that powers Abnormal's detection and spans human and non-human identities, threats, tenants, applications, and supply chains. Every response reflects your actual environment, with identity, timeline, and behavioral context built in.
Board-Ready Answers Without the Wait
Security leaders face hard questions on short notice: which employees faced the most BEC attempts this quarter, which vendor risks were flagged, how has risk exposure shifted over time? Getting to a defensible answer typically means navigating the portal manually, waiting on a BI query, or reformatting exported logs into something presentable. Most of those workflows take days to produce a single answer.
AIDA handles these requests conversationally: email Abby at abby@abnormalplatform.com or use the portal to get a response grounded in your live Abnormal data, with no need to export, query, or reformat anything.
Outcome: Board-ready answers are delivered in minutes, defensible and traceable back to the source.
Recurring Reports on Autopilot
Keeping stakeholders consistently informed means rebuilding the same data pull month after month. Without automation, that work accumulates with every reporting cycle, and insights from one-off questions rarely turn into ongoing visibility.
AIDA's scheduling interface changes that: pick a frequency, set the recipients, and AIDA auto-derives the reporting window from your cadence. For insights that surface during a conversation, Schedule as Custom Report converts any prompt into a recurring automated delivery in one click, without leaving the thread.
Outcome: Every one-time question can become an automated recurring report, with no additional configuration.
One System of Record for Every Insight
Security reports tend to scatter, leaving no clear record of what was asked, what ran, or what changed when questions come through multiple channels. The Report Repository brings every AIDA request together in one place, packaged or custom, with status, tenant scope, last delivery date, and a full conversational history. For organizations managing multiple tenants, AIDA scopes reports across all of them in one workflow, with recipients validated against the tenant selection.
Outcome: A complete audit trail for every question your team has ever asked, scalable across any number of tenants.
Why This Matters for Security Teams
The pressure to quantify security value and demonstrate financial impact is only intensifying. Boards want evidence, and executives want answers before the meeting. AIDA makes that possible by turning Abnormal's behavioral detection data into a reporting layer that works across your entire environment, on any cadence, at whatever scale your organization requires. The insights are already in the platform, and AIDA makes them accessible.
