Strategic Partnership

Abnormal trains and deploys Behavioral AI to stop highly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks that conventional tools miss. OpenAI develops frontier models and products that help defenders investigate threats, identify and validate vulnerabilities, and turn findings into fixes. Together, the companies will explore new ways to bring advanced AI capabilities into security workflows and help organizations deploy AI with the trust, visibility, and control enterprise environments require. Abnormal will join the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program as an early security partner, which brings OpenAI together with cybersecurity companies and service providers to develop practical, governed solutions for defenders.

Security and Adoption Focus

The companies plan to explore how OpenAI's frontier models and Codex Security can complement Abnormal's Behavioral AI, including capabilities that help security teams monitor agent activity and identify anomalous behavior. Abnormal's core detection and response products will continue to be powered by its proprietary Behavioral AI. Through the partnership, Abnormal will expand the use of OpenAI across its own business and work with OpenAI to develop practical patterns that help other enterprises accelerate adoption of AI safely. The companies plan to share lessons from deploying AI across engineering, customer operations, and security workflows.

"We partner with companies that are aligned to our mission of fighting crime, and that want to bring customers into the future with the most effective AI," said Evan Reiser, Founder and CEO of Abnormal AI. "That is why Abnormal is expanding its use of OpenAI for internal business operations and software development, and why we are working together to help every enterprise adopt AI with confidence."

"Abnormal brings deep expertise in email and identity security, and its products are already part of many workflows enterprises use to protect their people and systems," said Mike Aiello, Head of Cyber Products at OpenAI. "By partnering, we will help accelerate the adoption of practical defenses and bring advanced AI capabilities to more defenders through tools they already trust."
