It turns out our employees weren&#8217;t reporting any phishing attempts, because Area 1 was catching all phishing attempts before they reached our employees&#8217; inboxes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to 2022, and Cloudflare has decided to splash its cash on the San Francisco-based outfit. The deal is worth approximately $162m, with 40-50 per cent of the price being in Cloudflare Class A common stock and the rest in cash. The deal is expected to close in the coming months, before the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Cloudflare&#8217;s network blocks 86 billion cyber threats each day, according to the company. Area 1&#8217;s technology is a logical fit for its platform, particularly as part of Cloudflare&#8217;s Zero Trust push.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\"
