Abnormal AI, a leader in AI-native human behavior security, has officially launched its operations in Japan. This strategic expansion significantly strengthens the company’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region and reiterates its global commitment to safeguarding enterprises from advanced email threats through the power of behavioral artificial intelligence.

Evan Reiser, Co-Founder and CEO of Abnormal AI, emphasized the importance of this move, stating, "Japan is a cornerstone of our international growth strategy." He highlighted Japan's position as the third-largest economy and one of the most technologically advanced markets globally, presenting substantial opportunities for Abnormal AI. The company is dedicated to investing in the region to empower Japanese enterprises in redefining their email security approach in the age of AI.

The launch comes at a critical time, coinciding with a sharp increase in socially-engineered email attacks specifically targeting Japanese businesses. Traditional security tools often prove inadequate against these highly sophisticated threats, which is where Abnormal AI's platform distinguishes itself. Built upon a cloud-native architecture and powered by advanced behavioral AI, Abnormal's AI-native platform excels at precisely stopping a wide spectrum of advanced email attacks. This includes prevalent threats like phishing, business email compromise (BEC), vendor fraud, and other emerging threats, all by accurately detecting anomalies within known normal behavioral patterns.

Kei Mitsuyama, Country Manager for Abnormal AI Japan, further explained the platform's capabilities: "Abnormal leverages AI-native technology to proactively detect and stop sophisticated cyber threats powered by malicious AI—threats that frequently evade traditional defenses." He added that this advanced AI-driven methodology not only enhances threat detection accuracy but also streamlines security operations, thereby alleviating the burden on already strained security teams.

This expansion in Japan builds on Abnormal AI’s significant momentum across the broader Asia-Pacific region, where the company is rapidly expanding its customer base and local teams to meet surging demand for modern security solutions. Tim Bentley, Vice President of Asia-Pacific at Abnormal AI, noted the "remarkable growth" seen across the region as organizations increasingly acknowledge the critical need for advanced, AI-powered security. He expressed excitement about partnering with leading enterprises in Japan to provide superior protection with reduced complexity.

As part of its regional engagement, Abnormal AI is set to exhibit at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit in Tokyo from July 23–25. During the summit, the company will showcase its behavioral AI platform and engage in discussions on best practices for securing the modern workplace against today's most sophisticated cyber threats.
