Case Study: Mesosphere Achieves Stronger Protection Against Spear Phishing with Area 1 Security

Fast-Growing Cloud Infrastructure Company Combats Spear Phishing

Mesosphere, a fast-growing cloud infrastructure and software company, needed better protection against spear phishing in its Google G Suite email environment. Although Google filtered spam, low-volume targeted phishing emails were still getting through, creating a serious risk of credential theft and IP loss. To close that gap, Mesosphere turned to Area 1 Security and its Area 1 Horizon product.

Area 1 Security implemented Area 1 Horizon alongside Google’s existing email protection to detect and block highly targeted phishing attacks before they reached user inboxes. The solution fit Mesosphere’s need for a simple, cloud-based integration with minimal operational overhead. Since deployment, Area 1 Security has stopped 21,860 phishing attacks across more than 10 million messages, helping Mesosphere reduce breach risk and protect its employees without relying on user vigilance.
