Abnormal AI has once again been acknowledged as a Leader in the prestigious 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security.
This marks the second consecutive year the company has achieved this illustrious position. Gartner’s analysis evaluated 14 vendors, measuring them based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute, positioning Abnormal at the forefront of the Vision axis.
API-based approach to email security
The Gartner report identifies the complexities of sophisticated email-enabled social engineering attacks. It suggests that organisations might benefit from employing multiple vendors to secure comprehensive protection. Behavioural AI and natural language processing are highlighted as promising tools to tackle such advanced threats.
Abnormal AI's Behaviour Platform utilises this API-based methodology to autonomously protect against various threats, such as business email compromise and credential phishing. This approach avoids the need for complicated mail routing modifications or intricate configurations.
Recognition and innovation
Reiser emphasised their commitment to developing technology that places human behaviour
Evan Reiser, CEO of Abnormal AI, expressed enthusiasm about the recognition, stating, “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.”
Reiser emphasised their commitment to developing technology that places human behaviour understanding at the heart of organisational safety.
New deployments and certifications
In 2025, Abnormal AI introduced its first autonomous AI agents, AI Phishing Coach and AI Data Analyst, aimed at real-time threat detection and remediation. Additionally, the company's dedication to security and responsible AI was underlined by achieving FedRAMP Moderate Authorisation and the ISO/IEC 42001 AI governance certification.
Expanding their reach, Abnormal now protects over a quarter of the Fortune 500 and has recently made inroads into markets in Germany, Japan, and France.
Industry accolades and customer trust
Abnormal AI's influence in the industry is corroborated by its presence on the CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, and Fortune Cyber 60 lists.
Furthermore, Abnormal earned the title of Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Email Security Platforms in July 2025, achieving a remarkable 99% “Would Recommend” rating, which underscores the confidence customers have in their AI-native approach.

Abnormal AI, the pioneer in AI-native human behaviour security, announced it has been recognised 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.
API-based approach
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 organisations utilising multiple vendors for comprehensive protection.” To better combat these sophisticated threats, there is growing potential in solutions that utilise behavioural AI and natural language processing to analyse user behaviour and help detect anomalies.
The Abnormal Behaviour Platform analyses identity, behaviour, 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.
AI-native approach
“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 behaviour is the cornerstone of keeping people and organisations safe.”
AI Phishing Coach and AI Data Analyst
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 organisations detect, remediate, and train themselves against threats in real time. The company also achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorisation 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.
