Area 1 Security announced that it has selected SYNNEX Corporation as its key U.S. partner to distribute Area 1 Horizon - only pay-for-performance anti-phishing solution. Phishing attacks are the cause of damage in 9 out of 10 cybersecurity incidents. Phishing attacks like Business Email Compromise phishing (BEC phishing), repeatedly elude traditional defenses. Unlike traditional gateways, cloud email inboxes and sender authentication standards, Area 1 preemptively tracks and stops the widest variety of phishing campaigns - including BEC - an average of 24 days before an attack, before hackers can gain access to sensitive information. Customers that implement Area 1 through SYNNEX' network of more than 25,000 resellers can enjoy a first-of-its-kind, pay-for-performance cybersecurity model: customers pay only for the phish Area 1 catches and help close the phishing gap that is responsible for an overwhelming majority of security incidents. SYNNEX is committed to leveraging the Area 1 Horizon service through its consultative, solution-led approach to the cybersecurity market. Resellers have access to expert pre-sales support, comprehensive Area 1 anti-phishing technical enablement, and easy, rapid deployment. These investments allow for high-level engagement and added operational expertise, all while increasing business velocity. Area 1 - a Microsoft Partner and Google Cloud's Security Technology Partner of the Year - can be deployed in minutes to protect organizations relying solely on inadequate Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) or inbuilt cloud defenses against phishing attacks. Area 1's service can also be integrated with existing SIEM and SOAR platforms to retrieve phishing attack information and more efficiently turn threat insights into immediate action.
