Case Study: Legato Security achieves stronger phishing protection with Area 1 Security

Managed security service provider strengthens its protection against email cyberthreats by adding Area 1 to its defense infrastructure

Legato Security, a managed security service provider (MSSP), was facing a significant challenge with its Microsoft Office 365 email security. Numerous sophisticated phishing emails were bypassing the platform's native defenses, creating security gaps that raised the risk of business email compromise (BEC), malware, and other threats for both their own operations and their clients.

To address this, Legato integrated Area 1 Security's anti-phishing service into its defense infrastructure. The solution from Area 1 Security was implemented quickly and proved extremely effective, processing 1.8 million emails over a year and blocking nearly 2,000 malicious messages. This resulted in a drastic reduction in phishing incidents for Legato and its customers, which increased employee productivity and provided new confidence in their email security posture.
