Case Study: a major consumer goods leader blocks millions of phishing attacks with Area 1 Horizon

S&P 100 Consumer Goods Leader blocks 8 million phishing attacks with Area 1 Security

A major consumer goods leader from the S&P 100 faced a significant challenge with email-borne threats, including business email compromise and malicious links, which their existing security tools could not reliably stop. The company worked with Area 1 Security to implement its Area 1 Horizon anti-phishing service to better defend against these targeted phishing attacks.

Area 1 Security’s solution proactively discovers phishing campaigns and blocked eight million targeted attacks in one year, including a BEC attempt targeting the CFO. The deployment protected the company's Gmail instance and Windows DNS server, eliminating the need for the IT team to manually tune security rules and providing them with improved reporting metrics to demonstrate the effectiveness of their cyber defenses.
