The investment round was led by Wellington Management, with continued support from existing stakeholders including Greylock Partners, Menlo Ventures, Insight Partners, and the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund. To date, Abnormal Security has amassed a total funding of $546m through its financing rounds.
Central to its mission, Abnormal Security is dedicated to shielding individuals from cybercrimes by employing advanced AI technology. This involves the intricate analysis of human behavior to identify and thwart sophisticated socially-engineered attacks prevalent in today’s digital ecosystem.

Abnormal’s strategy revolves around an API-connected platform that scrutinizes multiple data sets to establish a baseline of known behaviors. Its autonomous AI models are finely tuned to detect anomalies and halt unprecedented cyber threats swiftly and efficiently.
The newly secured funds are earmarked for further development of Abnormal’s human behavior AI platform. This will enhance the company’s capacity to protect users across various applications more effectively, while also supporting customers in accelerating their AI-driven initiatives.

The company’s solutions are trusted by over 2,400 organizations globally, including 17% of the Fortune 500 companies. Its recent expansions into international markets like Europe, Asia, and Australia, and its progress towards FedRAMP compliance underscore its ongoing success and global outreach.
