How It Works
Behavioral AI for Manufacturing
Know the Moment a Vendor Account Is Compromised
VendorBase builds behavioral baselines for every supplier relationship — communication patterns, typical financial requests, normal contacts, expected timing. When a compromised vendor account deviates from these patterns, Abnormal detects it even though every traditional indicator looks clean.
Threats Removed before Your AP Team Sees Them
Malicious emails are automatically remediated from inboxes in under 6 seconds — no SOC analyst intervention, no manual triage queue. For manufacturers running lean security teams of 1-5 staff, this eliminates the operational burden that makes legacy SEGs unsustainable.
See Internal Attacks Your Gateway Structurally Cannot
Abnormal monitors internal-to-internal email through API access — detecting compromised procurement accounts sending fraudulent POs or lateral phishing across plant locations. A gateway sitting in the mail flow literally cannot see this traffic.

Our Impact
What Manufacturing Leaders Are Saying About Abnormal AI
“Before Abnormal, when we analyzed a message and determined that it was malicious, we had to login to our other security tools to put blocks in place. Then we had to search for and remediate each instance of the message in our email system. It was very time-consuming, but with Abnormal, there’s no longer a need for our security team to manually manage those emails.”
Jeremy Smith
CISO, Avery Dennison
“Abnormal shows the value of velocity through their speed to ROI, which was important to our leadership. We implemented it quickly, received protection immediately, and continue to receive value in terms of productivity and innovation. Our investment in Abnormal was a smart decision.”
John Barrow
CISO, JB Poindexter & Co
Abnormal powers over 4,500 customers, including over 25% of the Fortune 500.
