Case Study: Avery Dennison achieves BEC prevention and saves 40 security hours/week with Abnormal AI

Avery Dennison Automates Email Investigation and Response, Enhances BEC Prevention

Avery Dennison, a Fortune 500 materials science and digital identification company with 36,000+ employees, was struggling with phishing, BEC and vendor‑compromise attacks that bypassed native Google Workspace defenses and consumed significant security team time. To reduce manual investigations and protect supply‑chain relationships, Avery Dennison deployed Abnormal AI’s API‑based email security (Abnormal for Google Workspace, including inbound email security and automation).

Abnormal AI integrated via API to analyze historical and live mail flow, add an integrated Gmail phishing‑report button, and automate investigation and remediation of malicious messages and vendor compromises. The solution freed about 40 security hours per week, detected and prevented 358 BEC attacks in 90 days, identified 330 high‑risk vendors, and helped stop a $200K fraudulent invoice, improving both security efficacy and operational efficiency.
