Case Study: a leading household and personal products company blocks millions of phishing attacks with Area 1 Security

Leading Household & Personal Products Company - Customer Case Study

A leading household and personal products company, an S&P 100 consumer goods leader, faced significant challenges with sophisticated email-borne threats, including malicious links and business email compromise (BEC) attacks. Despite their existing security infrastructure, these phishing attempts frequently bypassed their defenses, forcing the IT team to constantly tune rules and blocklists. To address this, the company turned to Area 1 Security and implemented its Area 1 Horizon anti-phishing service.

By deploying Area 1 Horizon, the vendor's solution proactively discovered and blocked phishing campaigns before they could launch. The implementation successfully stopped over eight million targeted phishing attacks in a single year, including a BEC attempt targeting the CFO. The IT team no longer wastes time on manual tuning and can now provide clear metrics to the board, demonstrating a significantly improved cybersecurity posture and reduced risk, all thanks to the solution from Area 1 Security.
