Paragon Implements AI Solution for Email Security

This case study details Paragon's implementation of an AI-based email security solution provided by Abnormal to enhance their email protection measures. Paragon, a business services provider, faces challenges in maintaining data security and compliance, especially after acquiring new companies. The existing email security stack was insufficient to detect advanced business email compromise (BEC) and vendor email compromise (VEC) attacks, leading to a high volume of false positives. The Abnormal platform utilizes human behavior AI to baseline known-good user behavior, allowing it to identify threats that bypass traditional defenses. The solution is designed to scale easily and automatically remediates malicious emails, thus reducing the workload on security teams. Early implementation results showed Abnormal's effectiveness in identifying potential attacks, enhancing Paragon's security posture and operational efficiency. The case study concludes with a statement on the importance of maintaining strong email security to protect client data and trust.
