Case Study: CSC Generation stops BEC and secures its supply chain with Abnormal AI

CSC Generation - Customer Case Study

CSC Generation, the Gardena, CA–based holding company behind retail brands like DirectBuy, One Kings Lane, Sur La Table and Z Gallerie, faced a rising tide of Business Email Compromise (BEC) and supplier invoice fraud exacerbated by rapid acquisitions and a complex supply chain. To address these threats, CSC deployed Abnormal AI’s Abnormal Security platform, integrating in minutes via native Office 365 APIs to gain immediate visibility into users and business relationships.

Abnormal AI used its Abnormal Security AI and VendorBase intelligence to map CSC’s vendor ecosystem, identify anomalous behaviors, and automatically block a range of BEC attacks—from executive impersonations to vendor invoice fraud—immediately upon integration. The solution delivered real-time detection of compromised accounts, automated remediations that saved the security team significant manual response time, and a single dashboard consolidating protection across CSC’s multiple brands to support future acquisitions.
