About Us
Abnormal Security is a SaaS cybersecurity company focused on protecting organisations from email and collaboration threats, particularly attacks that rely on social engineering rather than traditional malware. Its products are designed to spot and stop things like phishing, business email compromise, impersonation, and other suspicious messages that can slip past basic filters. The underlying problem it tackles is that modern attacks often look legitimate and exploit human behaviour, so security teams need tools that can understand context, relationships, and unusual activity patterns, not just scan for known bad links or attachments.
The company primarily serves mid sized and large organisations that rely heavily on platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. These customers tend to have busy IT and security teams who need to reduce risk without disrupting day to day communication, and who want clearer visibility into what is happening across email and related collaboration channels. In practice, Abnormal’s work sits close to the core of how a business operates, because email remains a major entry point for fraud and account compromise.
Within the SaaS ecosystem, Abnormal Security operates in the cloud security and email security segment, integrating with widely used productivity suites and fitting into broader security stacks alongside identity, endpoint, and security operations tools. For job seekers, that typically means working on a product that must be reliable at scale, handle sensitive data carefully, and deliver accurate detection while keeping false positives low. It is also an area where customer trust, privacy, and measurable outcomes matter, so engineering and product decisions tend to be closely tied to real world security workflows.
People who thrive at Abnormal are likely to include software engineers comfortable with distributed systems and cloud services, security minded engineers and researchers who enjoy thinking like an attacker, and data focused specialists who can work with large volumes of behavioural signals. Product managers who can translate security problems into practical user experiences, as well as customer facing roles such as solutions engineers, customer success, and support, are also important in a company selling into security teams. Because the domain is complex and fast moving, curiosity, clear communication, and a willingness to learn security concepts tend to be valuable across functions.
What may appeal to candidates is the mission driven nature of the work and the direct impact on reducing fraud and protecting real people inside organisations. Email security is a mature category, but the shift towards cloud platforms and socially engineered attacks creates room for modern approaches, which can make the work feel both technically challenging and highly relevant. If you like building and improving a product that sits in critical infrastructure for customers, and you are motivated by solving nuanced problems where accuracy and trust are essential, Abnormal Security is likely to be an interesting place to build your career.
