Summary

Cloudflare has implemented advanced automation tooling to detect and take action against phishing attacks, which have grown in volume and sophistication. The company has built a phishing detection engine using the Cloudflare Developer Platform, leveraging insights from its network, internal data, external feeds, and years of abuse report processing data to automatically assess risk and recommend action. This has resulted in significant improvements, including resolving 78% of phishing reports with a median time to take action on hosted phishing reports under an hour. The company is also partnering with customers and experts to identify emerging patterns of phishing activity and crafting targeted rules to prevent abuse of Cloudflare products.
