Cloudflare has protected over 100 political campaigns and election officials in the United States, successfully processing over 20 million emails and preventing around 150K phishing attacks from reaching campaign inboxes during the recent midterm elections. The company's Area 1 solution uses preemptive campaign discovery and machine learning algorithms to analyze various threat signals, such as email attachments, sender domains, and sentiment within the email itself. This helps to determine if an email is malicious or not, ensuring secure communication for political campaigns and democratic institutions.
