The role of email security in reducing user risk amid rising threats

Phishing remains a persistent threat that attackers use various deceptive techniques to bypass security measures and target organizations, employees, and vendors across multiple communication channels. Cloudflare's integrated Zero Trust services provide extensive visibility from protecting approximately 20% of all websites and processing billions of email messages a year. The company's email security solution protects organizations before, during, and after message delivery while extending protection beyond email into the broader security ecosystem. By assessing holistic user risk and providing a unified dashboard for SOC teams to review detailed information regarding targeted users, attackers impersonating them, risky behaviors, and more, Cloudflare helps organizations combat phishing and identify insider threats. The solution also includes AI-driven predictive models that eliminate the need for creating and updating rules and provide automated isolation, blocking, and incident investigation capabilities. Looking ahead to 2025, Cloudflare plans to introduce additional capabilities that deepen the integration of its email security solution with its SASE platform, delivering enhanced insight and protection against user-based threats.
