Cloudflare-Area 1 Security

Cloudflare acquired Area 1 Security for $162 million in cash and stock to bolster its zero-trust platform.

Cloudflare entered the email security market in 2021 with the launch of its Advanced Email Security Suite and additional tools to create custom email addresses, manage incoming email routing, and prevent email spoofing and phishing on outgoing emails. Area 1 Security’s cloud-native platform works with any email offering. It stops phishing attacks by preemptively discovering and eliminating them before they can inflict damage in a corporate environment.
