Area 1 has been renamed

Area 1 is now **Email Security (formerly Area 1)**.

Access to Area 1

Beginning October 1, 2025, access and support for Email Security (formerly Area 1) will only be available through the Cloudflare dashboard. Your Email Security protection will not change, but you will no longer be able to access the Area 1 dashboard or send support requests to `@area1security.com` email addresses. For help accessing the Cloudflare dashboard, reach out to <successteam@cloudflare.com>.

Once you have [set up Email security](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-security/deployment/), you have several options to customize and fine-tune email behavior.
