Smarttech247 announces a strategic partnership with Abnormal Security to bring AI-powered email security to Europe, which has already resulted in a contract of nearly €400k with a global aviation organisation.

Smarttech247, a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services providing automated managed detection and response for a portfolio of international clients, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership agreement with  Abnormal Security, a leading behavioural AI-based email security platform. The partnership has already seen its first notable contract win during the last quarter.

Smarttech247 and Abnormal Security will work closely together, combining cloud-based behavioural AI to stop the full spectrum of modern email attacks, including business email compromise, vendor and invoice fraud, advanced credential phishing and more. The first notable win as a result of this partnership is a multi-year contract worth nearly €400k with a global organisation within the aviation industry sector.

Unlike traditional secure email gateways, Abnormal Security takes a different approach to stopping email attacks. The unique, cloud-native API architecture ingests thousands of signals across multiple platforms to build a baseline of the known-good behaviour of every employee and vendor in an organisation based on communication patterns, sign-in events and thousands of other attributes. It then applies advanced AI models including natural language processing (NLP) and behavioural analytics to detect abnormalities in email behaviour that indicate a potential threat and prevent attacks from reaching end users.

Abnormal Security will be integrated into Smarttech247’s comprehensive managed detection and response (MDR) service, VisionX, to provide a unified and proactive security solution. The platform combines real-time threat monitoring, rapid incident response and advanced analytics to protect clients from cyber threats.

Raluca Saceanu, Chief Executive Officer of Smarttech247, commented:

“Our partnership with Abnormal Security underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, and our first contract win showcases the value our customers see in this platform. We are also pleased to announce our first contract win as a result of this partnership with a significant global company in the aviation sector.

“We are looking forward to working closely together to help prevent cyberattacks for our customers by enhancing cloud email protection.”

Stevie Dennis, Channel Manager of EMEA Alliances at Abnormal Security, commented:

“The team at Smarttech247 has a strong understanding of what their customers need and are able to navigate them through the thousands of security offerings in the market to find the right solution.

“Working with Smarttech247 over the past few months has been a great experience. Their long-standing and trusted relationships with their clients means that we’ve been able to turn technical champions into business advocates within four weeks of the first meeting. We are confident that this will be a very successful partnership and look forward to continuing to grow it throughout Europe.”
