Southeastern University operates a complex global environment spanning students, faculty, and staff, with learners traveling internationally and studying through partner sites overseas. As a result, the university couldn始t rely on location-based controls alone to secure access. Email represented its top attack vector, with students frequently targeted by fake job offers, phishing, and other advanced threats. Before Abnormal, SEU始s lean security team relied on Google Workspace始s native protections and investigated incidents manually, often spending an entire day responding to a single campaign after accounts had already been compromised.
