WaterAid Email Security Enhancement Case Study

This case study outlines the email security challenges faced by WaterAid, a global charity focused on providing clean water and sanitation solutions. WaterAid implemented a secure email gateway and Microsoft 365's security tools but continued to experience advanced email attacks, including vendor email compromise and spear phishing. These attacks not only eroded employee trust but also led to significant monetary losses and increased workload for the IT security team. To address these issues, WaterAid partnered with Abnormal Security, which provided an AI-powered solution capable of detecting and mitigating sophisticated email threats. The partnership allowed WaterAid to reduce false positives and streamline email investigations, enabling the security team to focus on higher-risk tasks. The case study details the positive impact of Abnormal's solutions on WaterAid's operations, emphasizing the importance of reliable email security in supporting their mission of providing safe water and sanitation services globally.
