Operational Impact
By leveraging Google Cloud Platform, Area 1 Security has been able to protect its customers against phishing attacks in their earliest phases. The company can now take decisive and comprehensive action across all phishing vectors—email, web, network. It can perform rapid large dataset queries (100TB+) to identify small patterns indicative of emergent phishing campaigns. The use of Google Cloud Platform has also allowed Area 1 Security to focus on predictive analytics to find threats instead of running data center infrastructure. The company has found that when querying large datasets, Google BigQuery is the only cloud-based solution capable of handling a data set this size within the SLA required for its enterprise customers. | |
