Back to All Partners Abnormal Security INVITE Networks is an Abnormal Security partner, deploying and managing AI-native email security environments for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles Abnormal deployment, integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, policy configuration, and ongoing threat monitoring — so your organization is protected against phishing, business email compromise, and account takeovers without the overhead of managing email security in-house. TL;DR: Abnormal Security is an AI-native email security platform that detects and blocks sophisticated attacks — phishing, business email compromise (BEC), vendor email fraud, and cloud account takeovers — that bypass traditional secure email gateways. INVITE Networks deploys and manages Abnormal for organizations that need AI-powered email protection without dedicated security staff to run it. This page is for CISOs and IT directors evaluating an Abnormal Security partner who can own the deployment and ongoing management of their email security environment. What does INVITE Networks deliver as an Abnormal Security partner? Abnormal Security works differently from traditional email security. Rather than relying on signature-based detection or known malicious indicators, Abnormal builds a behavioral baseline for every user in your organization — learning their normal communication patterns, typical senders, and writing style. When an email deviates from that baseline in ways that indicate social engineering, Abnormal flags or blocks it regardless of whether the sender’s domain or link has been previously flagged as malicious. INVITE deploys Abnormal via API integration — no MX record changes, no mail flow disruption — and manages the platform’s detection policies, remediation automation, and reporting. INVITE’s managed Abnormal service includes configuring Abnormal’s AI detection across email attack categories, tuning remediation settings to match the organization’s risk tolerance, reviewing the threat dashboard for emerging attack patterns, and integrating Abnormal findings into the organization’s broader cybersecurity program. See how this fits into INVITE’s managed security services. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for Abnormal Security? Organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix choose INVITE for Abnormal because email is still the primary attack vector for ransomware, credential theft, and financial fraud — and traditional email security tools are losing ground to AI-generated attacks that are indistinguishable from legitimate email by signature-based filters. Abnormal’s behavioral AI detects these attacks at a level traditional tools cannot, but the platform requires proper configuration and active management to deliver that protection consistently. A Salt Lake City financial services firm with 500 employees deployed Abnormal through INVITE after experiencing two successful BEC attacks in a single quarter — both from vendors whose email accounts had been compromised. Traditional secure email gateway rules had not flagged either attack because the sending domains were legitimate. INVITE deployed Abnormal and configured vendor email fraud detection specific to the firm’s key supplier relationships. In the first 60 days of operation, Abnormal blocked 14 additional social engineering attempts from compromised vendor accounts that would have bypassed the existing email gateway. How does INVITE deploy and manage Abnormal Security as part of its cybersecurity services? Abnormal’s API-based architecture makes deployment fast and non-disruptive — INVITE connects Abnormal to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace via OAuth integration, and Abnormal begins learning email behavioral baselines immediately without requiring any mail flow changes. For most organizations, the deployment is complete and Abnormal is in active detection mode within one to two business days of kickoff. Once deployed, INVITE manages Abnormal on an ongoing basis: reviewing the threat dashboard for high-severity detections, adjusting detection sensitivity as organizational communication patterns evolve, managing the allow-listing of legitimate senders that Abnormal may initially flag, and generating monthly email threat reports for IT leadership. INVITE also configures Abnormal’s automated remediation features — enabling automatic removal of detected malicious emails from inboxes so threats are neutralized before users interact with them, not after. What Abnormal Security products does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE deploys and manages Abnormal Security’s core Inbound Email Security platform, which protects against phishing, spear phishing, executive impersonation, BEC, vendor email fraud, and malware delivered via email. INVITE also configures Abnormal’s Account Takeover Protection module — detecting compromised Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts by identifying unusual login behavior, suspicious forwarding rules, and abnormal access patterns before the attacker can use the compromised account to launch further attacks. For organizations with Microsoft 365 environments, INVITE integrates Abnormal with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 where applicable, allowing Abnormal’s behavioral detection to complement Microsoft’s built-in filtering layer rather than replace it. INVITE also deploys Abnormal’s Email Security Posture Management capabilities for organizations that want visibility into their overall email configuration security — flagging misconfigured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records and other email infrastructure weaknesses that attackers exploit.

Frequently Asked Questions: Abnormal Security Email Protection Is INVITE Networks an authorized Abnormal Security partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Abnormal Security partner with engineers trained on Abnormal’s deployment and management. INVITE has access to Abnormal’s partner technical resources and can provision, deploy, and manage Abnormal for organizations across Salt Lake City and Phoenix. Does Abnormal Security replace our existing secure email gateway? Abnormal is designed to work alongside existing email security layers — including Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Proofpoint, Mimecast, and similar platforms — rather than replace them. Abnormal deploys via API integration and analyzes email after it passes through existing filters, catching the socially engineered and behavioral attacks that rule-based gateways miss. Most INVITE clients deploy Abnormal as an augmentation layer on top of their existing email security stack, not as a replacement. How does Abnormal detect business email compromise if the sending domain is legitimate? This is Abnormal’s core technical differentiator. Traditional email security looks for known-bad indicators — malicious links, suspicious domains, known phishing signatures. BEC attacks use legitimate email accounts (either the attacker’s own aged domain or a compromised vendor account), so there are no bad indicators to detect. Abnormal instead analyzes the behavioral characteristics of the email: does the communication pattern match this sender’s history with this recipient? Does the request deviate from normal workflows? Does the writing style match previous communications from this sender? If the behavioral signals indicate manipulation regardless of the sender’s legitimacy, Abnormal flags or blocks the message. How long does Abnormal take to deploy with INVITE? Because Abnormal connects via API rather than through mail flow changes, deployment is fast. INVITE typically completes the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration and initial policy configuration within one to two business days. Abnormal then requires a brief learning period — typically one to two weeks — to build accurate behavioral baselines for the organization’s users before detection sensitivity is fully optimized. During this period, Abnormal operates in detection-only mode; INVITE monitors the findings and transitions to active remediation once the baseline is established.
