Case Study: Global Fortune 500 Manufacturing and Chemical Fertilizer Company blocks 5,700+ phishing attacks with Area 1 Security

Fortune 500 Manufacturing Company Preemptively Blocks 5,700+ Attacks From Reaching Employees Within 2 Weeks

Global Fortune 500 Manufacturing and Chemical Fertilizer Company, a $2.9+ billion business serving 18+ countries, struggled with native G Suite email hygiene that could not stop targeted phishing attacks. Employees were also burdened with spotting and reporting threats that still made it into inboxes, and the company wanted better visibility into its email environment. Area 1 Security provided the email security solution used in this case.

After a successful 3-week proof-of-value, Area 1 Security was rolled out enterprise-wide alongside the company’s G Suite instance. The solution preemptively blocked 5,700+ phishing attacks in just 2 weeks, including 75 BEC attacks aimed at executives, helping the organization stop threats before they reached employees and reducing the time and effort needed to manage phish.
