Architecture comparison
Cybersecurity
Abnormal runs a cloud-native, API-first behavioral AI platform that integrates with cloud email and collaboration suites (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) outside the mail flow, ingesting user, email, and identity telemetry into proprietary behavioral models and a data lake to drive detection, response, and human-risk scoring.[1][5][7][8][9] Its core is a proprietary behavioral foundation model and related ML pipelines hosted in its own cloud environment, exposed through its SaaS console and APIs rather than via public/open-source model distribution.[7][9]
Cybersecurity
Palo Alto Networks runs a multi-cloud SaaS architecture with AWS as the primary runtime for major platforms like Prisma Cloud, using services such as RDS, Redshift, Neptune, OpenSearch, Redis, and S3 alongside Kubernetes-based microservices for data ingestion, analytics, and Infinity Graph. GCP (including Vertex AI) and Azure are used selectively for AI/ML workloads and cloud-native firewall offerings, with proprietary security engines and data stores layered on top of these managed services.
