Area 1: How Phish are Done
How do you build a company that stops cyberattacks? You start with a simple purpose: Stop Phishing.
Phishing emails may represent a small share of traffic, but they’re the root cause of 95% of damages in cybersecurity incidents. Whether it’s malware, BEC, ransomware, or the rest of a long list, the root cause of loss nearly always starts with a phish. For bad actors, breaching is easy: one click on an email is all it takes.
Phishing attacks always bypass Cloud email and legacy Secure Email Gateways (SEGs). So at Area 1, we developed an entirely new and unique approach to battling attacks. We follow, find, and finish off phish before they can reach your users’ inboxes.

The solution for phish won’t come in the form of SEGs or end-user human judgment. Instead, automation and better machines must be the solution for approaching cyber attacks for what they actually are: routine assembly line operations, neither extraordinary nor insurmountable to defeat.
