Area 1 has been renamed

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

When you first get started with Email Security (formerly Area 1), you will need to set up a way to connect your current mail environment with Email Security.

## BCC setup

Send messages to Email Security via BCC configurations within your email provider:

* [Google Workspace BCC setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-security/deployment/api/setup/gsuite-bcc-setup/)
* [Microsoft Exchange BCC setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-security/deployment/api/setup/exchange-bcc-setup/)

## Journaling setup

Send messages to Email Security via a Journaling configuration within your email provider:

* [Office 365 journaling setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-security/deployment/api/setup/office365-journaling/)

## Microsoft Graph API

Send messages to Email Security via a Microsoft Graph API configuration within your email provider:

* [Office 365 Microsoft Graph API setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-security/deployment/api/setup/office365-graph-api/)

## Next steps

Regardless of your setup (BCC, journaling or MS Graph API), you may also want to set up either manual or automatic [retraction](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-security/email-configuration/retract-settings/) to take post-delivery actions against suspicious messages.
