Increased pressure on cybersecurity teams
About 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with an email, usually in the form of phishing or spear-phishing. The rise of Phishing-as-a-Service and AI-generated attacks also makes threats more scalable and harder to recognize. Many organizations are seeing an increase in security alerts, while security teams are under greater operational pressure.

Smart analysis of email behavior
The technology from Abnormal AI analyzes behavior patterns within email traffic and user accounts and detects anomalies that traditional, rule-based security systems are less likely to identify. The solution is added to Cegeka's existing SOC services.
'Our clients expect a SOC that is scalable, adapts to new threats, and brings efficiency instead of extra complexity,' says Remco Geerts, Business Unit Manager Cyber Security & Networking at Cegeka Netherlands. 'Abnormal AI adds a crucial layer to our services by automatically and accurately stopping email threats before they have an impact. This aligns seamlessly with our modern SOC strategy.'
'Alert fatigue' a thing of the past
Abnormal AI also sees the collaboration as an important step in the Dutch market. 'Cegeka has a strong vision of what a modern SOC service should look like: data-driven, automated, and focused on real risks,' says Aidan van Nes, Channel Manager at Abnormal AI. 'Together, we help organizations stop advanced email attacks without alert fatigue and without additional burden on security teams. Abnormal's innovative products such as AI Phishing Coach (security awareness), AI Security Mailbox, and Account Takeover Protection are important tools for a modern effective SOC service.'
With the collaboration, Abnormal AI and Cegeka aim to respond to the growing need for automated and behavior-based security solutions in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
