Case Study: Saskatoon Public Schools achieves real-time email attack remediation and major time and cost savings with Abnormal AI

Saskatoon Public Schools Displaces SEG, Improves Email Security and Value

Saskatoon Public Schools, Saskatchewan’s largest school division serving 25,000+ students across 60 schools, needed a cost-effective cloud email security upgrade during its move to Exchange Online. With a one-person security team and an existing SEG (Proofpoint) that required heavy manual remediation, the district chose Abnormal AI to provide API-based protection—deploying Inbound Email Security, Email Account Takeover Protection, Abuse Mailbox Automation, and Email Productivity—to stop phishing and internal account-takeover attacks while reducing operational overhead.

Abnormal AI integrated quickly with Exchange Online and automatically detected, mitigated, and remediated threats in real time, replacing manual workflows and separate quarantine portals. The deployment auto-remediated 25,000+ attacks in 180 days, stopped 163 employee account takeover attempts in 180 days, and saved more than 840 employee hours on graymail management in 90 days, giving the security lead back time for other priorities.
