Abnormal AI Expands Security Platform
Abnormal AI, a company that provides native AI-powered behavioral security, has expanded its Behavioral Security Platform to include three new products: Identity Threat Protection, AI Security, and Infiltration Prevention. These products aim to protect the modern identity attack surface, which is increasingly being exploited by attackers.
The company’s platform already protects over 4,500 clients by understanding behavior, learning what is normal for each identity, and detecting deviations that signal anomalous activity or an attack. This behavioral base now extends across the entire enterprise identity attack surface.
Evan Reiser, CEO and co-founder of Abnormal AI, stated that the company envisioned a future where behavioral AI could solve critical problems faced by businesses worldwide. Reiser noted that clients today face key challenges, including attackers who blend in instead of break in, AI adoption outpacing governance, and state actors creating fake identities to become insiders.
Modern attacks are increasingly successful because they appear legitimate. Attackers bypass authentication to compromise trusted identities, AI adoption is reaching a critical point faster than security teams can manage it, and non-human identities, including service accounts, OAuth applications, and AI agents, now far outnumber human ones.
The three new products apply the same behavioral model to different parts of the attack surface. Identity Threat Protection helps prevent identity leaks by revealing vulnerabilities that attackers exploit, such as accounts without multi-factor authentication (MFA) and service accounts with excessive privileges.
AI Security provides controlled visibility to security teams over AI tools, agents, and chats across the organization. It discovers, classifies, and controls all AI, both authorized and unauthorized, before uncontrolled activity becomes an incident.

Infiltration Prevention is a security tool.
Reiser added that the most important threats do not seem like threats at all. A trusted identity moves through a valid session like a real employee. A useful AI agent makes its way through code into a confidential database. A state actor uses a synthetic identity to apply for a job. Each has a different appearance, but all are betrayed in the same way: through abnormal behavior.
Abnormal AI’s expansion of its platform is a response to the evolving threat environment, where attackers are increasingly using legitimate identities and AI to carry out their attacks. By providing a more thorough approach to behavioral security, the company aims to help businesses protect themselves against these types of threats.
The company’s products are designed to work together to provide a layered approach to security. By analyzing behavior across different parts of the attack surface, Abnormal AI’s platform can detect and prevent attacks that might otherwise go undetected.
This approach is particularly important in today’s threat environment, where attackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and able to blend in with legitimate activity. As businesses continue to adopt AI and other technologies, the need for effective behavioral security will only continue to grow.
Abnormal AI’s expanded platform is a step towards meeting this need, and providing businesses with the tools they need to protect themselves against the evolving threat environment, similar to how businesses can benefit from upgrading their hosting services to improve security.
