Meta1st has launched a set of enhanced features for its Analyse1st and Learn1st offerings, aimed at helping organizations mitigate cybersecurity threats and enhance compliance with regulations.
The latest updates include broader compatibility for Analyse1st with Gmail and Outlook platforms, the introduction of dynamic heatmap risk analysis, and ongoing user education functionalities. According to Meta1st, these improvements are designed to equip employees with the ability to more quickly and accurately identify email security threats and respond appropriately.
Analyse1st, which utilizes AI to analyze emails, now offers real-time evaluations for potential security risks such as harmful links, dubious domains, or infected attachments. The newly implemented features provide immediate explanations regarding the classification of emails as safe or hazardous. Moreover, the heatmap analysis feature allows organizations to visually track the sources and patterns of potential threats, helping them identify vulnerable points in employee email usage.
Qasim Bhatti, CEO of Meta1st, emphasized, “With Analyse1st, we are enabling employees to make informed decisions in real time. These new features equip staff with immediate insights, allowing organizations to decrease risk and bolster their cybersecurity framework, giving them a competitive edge against attackers. Fostering a proactive cybersecurity culture and furnishing employees with actionable insights not only mitigates immediate risks but also strengthens overall defense mechanisms at a fundamental level.”
In addition to email analysis, the Learn1st product has been revised to include AI-powered training modules tailored to support compliance with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). These updated educational components are designed to aid organizations in the financial services sector in adhering to DORA’s requirements, which took effect in January 2025.
DORA seeks to bolster IT security and operational resilience for organizations within the financial sector, including banks, insurance firms, investment companies, and their third-party ICT partners. With Learn1st now featuring content that caters to 20 specific categories of financial entities, organizations can access customized resources that simplify compliance and strengthen operational resilience.
Bhatti added, “At Meta1st, we aim to simplify the journey toward regulatory compliance. Learn1st makes it easier for organizations by providing all the necessary tools to effectively educate their teams on meeting DORA’s standards and enhancing cyber resilience. Our goal is not merely to fulfill obligations but to help organizations create a safer and more robust future.”
Meta1st bases its platform on the idea that the “Human Layer” is a critical vulnerability in organizational cybersecurity. By providing employees with current knowledge and dynamically assessed information regarding potential threats, the company seeks to minimize risks related to human error and lack of awareness.
The suite of tools offered by Meta1st includes Phish1st, an AI-driven resource to educate employees on identifying cyber threats; Learn1st, which provides interactive learning resources and customizable quizzes; and Analyse1st, created to assist in detecting and reporting malicious emails.
