If you use Microsoft 365, it might be a good idea to also be using Area1 Security to improve email security and reduce the amount of phishing taking place in your mailboxes.
“Area 1 Security is the premier cybersecurity company that protects the world’s email and cloud-based messaging from cyberattacks. Our mission is making INBOX.CLEAN™ a reality: stop phishing attacks — the root cause of 95% of breaches — before they reach users. Area 1 offers the only solution that preemptively stops Business Email Compromise, malware, ransomware and other advanced threats by discovering and eliminating them before they cause damage.” (Business Wire).
Many Microsoft Users are investing in Area1 Security to support their email security.
“In their most recent Market Guide for Email Security, Gartner mentioned that despite Microsoft’s continued investment in security, organizations are dissatisfied with native capabilities, choosing to supplement with third party email security solutions like Area 1 Security.” (Area 1 Microsoft Partner).
Area1 Security uses a variety of techniques, working alongside existing precautions in Microsoft’s features, allowing for security to be improved.
“Through flexible deployment options including MX, inline, connector and API, Area 1 integrates quickly and works seamlessly with Microsoft 365’s other email security features like anti-spam, DLP, encryption and archiving. With built-in remediation and Message Retraction, Area 1 can also effortlessly remove all malicious messages directly from Microsoft 365 mailboxes, providing comprehensive, real-time protection from detection to response.”
Area1 Security has had many accomplishments in 2021, including “being recognized as a Representative Vendor for the new Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) category in Gartner’s 2021 Market Guide for Email Security and securing two new patents.” (Business Wire). The successes of the company suggest that their services are worth looking into.
“As a Gartner-recognized ICES solution, Area 1 Horizon uses a variety of advanced detection techniques, including NLU, NLP, social graph analysis (patterns of email communication) and image recognition to detect and stop advanced threats. However, unlike other email security vendors, Area 1 provides the only preemptive and comprehensive protection across the entire phishing attack cycle: pre-delivery, at-delivery and post-delivery.” (Business Wire).
Area1 Security will be a company to keep an eye on in 2022, and it is worth considering utilizing their services.
“Patrick Sweeney, CEO and President of Area 1 Security commented, ‘The past year has been peppered with headlines of advanced threats, including attacks exploiting supply chain security vulnerabilities and record-breaking ransomware attacks. While several players have retrenched or recently exited the email security market, we’re proud that Area 1 has arisen to the challenge to find better, faster ways to intercept attacks. We will continue to push the email security market forward in 2022 and beyond.’”
