Abnormal Security vs. Symantec Email Threat Detection and Response

Another local organization was compromised, and we were one of the targets of their further attempts. We were 100% protected because the behavioral analysis protected us, but also allowed me to contact that organization and report their compromise. This has actually happened more than one time since going live.

I have had a suitation where the company domain was being blasted by tons of spam emails and the Symantec Email Threat Detection stood to the test and block all these harmful email from entering our users mailbox, for a less appropriate scenario would be the frequency of the false positives that are reported that I have to train the tool how to allow these traffic to pass.

Incentivized

• Spam filtering...we have been able to turn our spam sensitivity down on Exchange allowing more legitimate messages through to user inboxes.
• Malicious email filtering...we experienced several successful phishing attacks over the past year. Abnormal Security has prevented hundreds of individual campaigns since going live in August '22. I cannot thank them enough!
• Automated response for reported emails...my team is small and we do not have enough hours in a day to review and respond to each reported email. Abnormal Security performs additional analysis on those reports and automatically responds for us. If the message is spam or malicious, copies of those emails are looked for throughout the server and deleted.

Incentivized

• Scans computers for viruses
• Notifies admins of infections
• Good licensing process

• None so far, I have been extremely happy with their service.

Incentivized

• Adding malicious sources taking time
• Reporting function is very basic
• Symantec ATP has no integration with Symantec ETDAD.

Symantec Email Threat Detection and Response is a treadsetter, it has great features and works well overall

Abnormal Security blocks malicious emails that both PhishER and Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense miss. One thing that PhishER does have is the ability to flip a malicious message into a user education phishing email. That's cool, but I think we can just copy/paste the same info into a custom campaign.

We are making a migration from Symantec to SentinelOne in the near future for easier deployment, better EDR and management functionality.

• Preventing compromises that have historically led to payroll or accounts payable threats.

• Integration with ETDAD will make Symantec ATP more powerful for future AD threats
• Implemeting Symantec ATP was easy and took little time
