Case Study: CSC Generation eliminates costly vendor invoice and payment fraud with Abnormal AI

Abnormal Security Protects Famous Retail Brands Like One Kings Lane and Z Gallerie From Costly Invoice Fraud From Compromised Vendors

CSC Generation, a holding company for well-known retail brands like One Kings Lane and Z Gallerie, faced rising risk from compromised third‑party vendors as it scaled. Despite multi-factor authentication, VPNs, and other security tools, CSC Generation suffered a $100,000 invoice fraud when a vendor account was compromised and the attacker manipulated communications and payment details. Seeking a forward‑looking defense, CSC Generation turned to Abnormal AI’s cloud‑native email security platform with an API‑driven, behavioral data science approach.

Abnormal AI was deployed via a one‑click API integration and used identity modeling, behavioral and relationship graphs, and deep content analysis to baseline normal behavior and detect anomalies. After installation CSC Generation reports no further payment or vendor compromise fraud, removing the recurring fraud headache from their security and fraud teams and preventing repeat losses like the earlier $100,000 incident. Abnormal AI stopped a high volume of vendor/payment fraud attempts and went live in just one day.
