Area 1 Horizon, a native cloud-based service, the only one which is preemptive, accurate & accountable. It deploys in minutes and stops phishing attacks across all traffic vectors—email, web, or network.

Phishing attacks remain the primary cybersecurity threat to organizations of all sizes. Existing defenses struggle with these highly focused and sophisticated campaigns.

The speed, variety, and cunning of these attacks underscore the urgent need for a new, advanced platform to address them which is what Area 1 is all about.
