How Smarttech247 and Abnormal Security Protect Against Email Attacks
Smarttech247 is integrating Abnormal's email security capabilities into its VisionX managed detection and response (MDR) service, the companies announced. As such, VisionX will provide users with threat monitoring, incident response and analytics capabilities.In addition, Smarttech247 will leverage Abnormal's cloud-native API architecture that ingests thousands of signals across organizations' platforms to build a baseline of known-good behavior of employees and vendors, the companies indicated. The architecture then applies artificial intelligence models to detect abnormalities in email behavior that indicate a potential threat is present and prevent attacks from reaching users' inboxes.Smarttech247 VisionX Drives Security Efficiencies
