ability to strip and disable phishing links within messages, plus DNS-based live blocking and
redirection—all vital elements of a successful anti-phishing defense strategy.

Area 1 Security is the first and only cloud-based company to deliver preemptive detection,
analysis, and disruption of phishing campaigns across the email, web, and network vectors.
Shutting down phishing attacks before they arrive at the network edge protects companies from
such risks as BEC, ransomware, malware, credential harvesting sites and others.
