NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit...Area 1 Security, the leader in stopping phishing attacks preemptively, is offering an industry-first 'No Phish Guarantee'TM to protect customers from phish-related breaches backed by major new anti-phishing innovations within its flagship SaaS solution, Area 1 HorizonTM. Area 1 Security will demonstrate Horizon's capabilities live at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit (booth #438).
Phishing remains the root cause of 95 percent of breaches and is the primary reason for financial losses, data exfiltration and brand damage to organizations large and small. Current solutions are unable to effectively stop these attacks, since phishing spans multiple vectors and digitally connected entities, requiring advanced detection and enforcement that reaches out to every place you can be phished.
"Increasing volume and sophistication of phishing attacks are resulting in real financial damage to organizations in both downtime (such as 'ransomware' attacks) and direct financial fraud (such as wire transfers). CISOs should develop a comprehensive program of phishing prevention and detection to protect internal infrastructure, financial transactions and sensitive data," according to Neil Wynne, Andrew Walls and Peter Firstbrook, Gartner. *
"Once phishing attacks appear on user devices, as history has shown, nearly 1 in 10 users take the bait, and take the bait quickly," said Michael Suby, Stratecast vice-president of research at Frost & Sullivan. "The ultimate in phishing mitigation is to block all phishing attacks from ever reaching users' device screens. In essence, remove users from the role of defending against phishing attacks." **
Industry's First 'No Phish Guarantee'
The security industry has had limited accountability for its solutions. Area 1 Security's 'No Phish Guarantee' provides CEOs, CIOs and CISOs the assurance that they are no longer fighting this battle alone. Existing solutions are reactive and tentative--unable to truly prevent hacks, to be held accountable or offer real value measured in business terms. Area 1 Security's unique service stops phishing comprehensively and preemptively, with the confidence to offer customers total protection.
The 'No Phish Guarantee' allows customers who have bought and deployed Area 1 Security's service suite to claim the value of breach damages caused due to missed phish. Customers can rest assured they have the industry's best anti-phishing solution protecting their organization and users, all backed by measurable accountability for their cybersecurity investment.
"Phishing is increasingly a business problem, not just a technical one, and solutions need to focus on quantifiable business metrics that are tied to specific outcomes. The 'No Phish Guarantee' does precisely that," said Oren Falkowitz, CEO and co-founder, Area 1 Security.
Phish Disabled in Earliest Stages—Before They Breach and Damage the Business
Area 1 Horizon finds and disrupts phishing attacks, the leading cause of breaches, while the attacks are still under construction at their own origins. As the root cause of breaches, phishing opens the door to ransomware, business email compromise (BEC), whaling, malware, spoofing and other threats, each with their own disastrous outcomes. Area 1 Security developed Horizon as a new approach to the growing volume, severity and cost of these attacks. With globally distributed ActiveSensorsTM, massive-scale web crawling, and comprehensive pre-attack analytics, Area 1 Horizon identifies phishing campaigns, attacker infrastructure and attack delivery mechanisms during the earliest stages of a phishing attack cycle.
Expanded Capabilities Identify Campaigns Earlier and Stops Phish Across All Vectors
"These major enhancements take phishing defense to a whole new level, offering a robust, comprehensive and proactive defense across the three vectors that attackers have exploited again and again. We can protect companies that rely on a secure Internet to do business," said Vivek Bhandari, director of product management, Area 1 Security.
