Case Study: Innovative Financial Technology Company keeps email clean and phishing-free with Area 1 Security

Area 1 Keeps LendingHome’s Email Clean and Free of Phishing Threats, Saving Security Team Time and Resources

Innovative Financial Technology Company, an innovative financial technology startup funded with more than $1 billion in loans, was struggling with phishing and other email threats getting past Gmail’s filter. The IT team was also spending too much time tuning email security rules and blocklists to keep inboxes clean. Area 1 Security helped address these challenges with Area 1 Horizon deployed alongside G-Suite.

Area 1 Security’s solution automatically quarantined malicious, spam, and spoof emails before they reached users’ inboxes, delivering a drastic improvement in detection over Gmail. As a result, fewer phishing and spoof messages reached employees, the security team saved time and resources, and employees could focus on their work instead of reporting multiple phishes each day. The customer also reported that Area 1 Security was up and running in less than half an hour and caught many malicious emails that had already passed through Gmail’s filters.
