Recognized for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute; Positioned Furthest on the Vision Axis for the Second Consecutive Year

Abnormal AI, the leader in AI-native human behavior security, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security, marking the company’s second consecutive year in the Leaders Quadrant.

Gartner evaluated vendors based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. Among 14 vendors evaluated, Abnormal was placed furthest right on the Vision axis.

In the report, Gartner highlights that “the high volume of sophisticated, email-enabled social engineering attacks, combined with the difficulty in consistently quantifying true detection efficacy across the market, justifies organizations utilizing multiple vendors for comprehensive protection.”1 To better combat these sophisticated threats, there is growing potential in solutions that utilize behavioral AI and natural language processing to analyze user behavior and help detect anomalies.

The Abnormal Behavior Platform analyzes identity, behavior, and contextual signals in order to baseline normal activity and help identify deviations indicative of malicious activity. This API-based approach is designed to enable autonomous protection against a wide range of attacks—including business email compromise, credential phishing, and account takeover—without requiring cumbersome mail routing changes or complex configurations.

“Being named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the second year in a row—while maintaining the furthest placement on Vision—is an incredible milestone for us,” said Evan Reiser, chief executive officer of Abnormal AI. “We’re proud to see our AI-native approach continuing to drive innovation and impact as we build toward a future where understanding human behavior is the cornerstone of keeping people and organizations safe.”

This recognition follows a year of exceptional growth and innovation for Abnormal AI. In 2025, Abnormal launched its first autonomous AI agents—AI Phishing Coach and AI Data Analyst—to help organizations detect, remediate, and train themselves against threats in real time. The company also achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorization and earned the ISO/IEC 42001 AI governance certification, underscoring its commitment to both security and responsible AI.

Abnormal now protects more than 25% of the Fortune 500 and continues its global expansion, recently entering new markets in Germany, Japan, and France. The year also brought strong industry and customer validation—from featuring on the CNBC Disruptor 50, to the Forbes Cloud 100, and the Fortune Cyber 60. Abnormal was also named a Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Email Security Platforms in July 2025, earning a 99% “Would Recommend” rating and, in our opinion, reaffirming the trust placed in Abnormal’s AI-native approach.2
