Introducing Cloudflare's 2023 phishing threats report
In the 2023 Phishing Threats Report by Cloudflare, it was found that phishing emails are increasing at an alarming rate, with attackers constantly evolving their tactics to avoid detection. The report highlights how email authentication standards like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC have limitations in preventing brand impersonation and other types of attacks. Multiple protection layers must be enacted before, during, and after messages reach the inbox, including adopting a Zero Trust security model, augmenting cloud email with anti-phishing controls, and implementing phishing-resistant multifactor authentication. Cloudflare's report also recommends using remote browser isolation technology to protect users from accidentally entering sensitive information within form fills or credential harvesting websites. To prevent successful phishing attacks, organizations should take a proactive approach by meeting employees where they are and making the tools they already use more secure.
