Case Study: LendingHome Keeps Email Free of Phishing Threats with Area 1 Security

Area 1 Security Keeps LendingHome’s Email Clean and Free of Phishing Threats

LendingHome, a fast-growing FinTech company, needed stronger protection against targeted phishing and business email compromise (BEC) attacks. Its existing Gmail spam filtering was letting malicious emails reach employee inboxes, creating risk for fraud and wasted employee time. LendingHome turned to Area 1 Security and its Horizon Email Protection to help keep suspicious messages out of users’ inboxes.

With Area 1 Security in place, LendingHome gained preemptive phishing detection that stopped malicious, spoofed, and suspicious emails before they reached employees. The result was a dramatic reduction in phishing reports, from multiple per day to going weeks without a single report, while also automatically routing malicious mail to Google quarantine. LendingHome said Area 1 Security rolled out quickly, worked with little ongoing effort, and significantly improved protection compared with Gmail filtering alone.
