Case Study: Atomic Cartoons achieves stronger IP protection and major IT time savings with Abnormal AI

Atomic Cartoons Chooses Abnormal as More Effective SEG Alternative

Atomic Cartoons, a Thunderbird Entertainment company with studios in Vancouver, Ottawa, and Burbank, faced targeted phishing, scams, and attacks aimed at stealing and leaking production IP. Their secure email gateway (SEG) generated frequent false positives/negatives and required extensive IT time to manage across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, so they turned to Abnormal AI for Inbound Email Security, Email Account Takeover Protection, and Abuse Mailbox Automation.

Abnormal AI implemented a behavioral AI solution with API-based integration that ran alongside the SEG and quickly plugged into Workspace, reducing oversight needs. The deployment delivered measurable results: zero missed attacks or false positives in 30 days, 100% less IT time spent monitoring and adjusting the tool, and an 80% reduction in time spent on manual investigation and remediation, freeing the IT team to focus on other security initiatives while better protecting artists and IP.
