Case Study: Save the Children protects its mission and reduces phishing by 98% with Abnormal AI

Save the Children International Protects its Mission with Abnormal

Save the Children, a global nonprofit helping more than 100 million children, faced rising spear-phishing, BEC and other advanced email threats across 25,000+ protected mailboxes and needed an AI-powered, low‑touch security solution that would automate remediation and maximize limited security spend. To meet those needs they selected Abnormal AI, deploying its Inbound Email Security and Account Takeover Protection.

Abnormal AI used human‑behaviour AI and automation to detect and remove advanced (including AI‑generated) targeted threats, automate investigations and phishing report remediation, and enrich intelligence via CrowdStrike integration. The result: zero missed attacks or false positives over 30 days, a 98% decrease in user reports of suspected phishing emails, visibility that 41% of attacks in that period were advanced text‑based threats, and large time savings for analysts who previously spent up to half a day on single phishing incidents.
