Cloudflare’s comprehensive email security & data protection tools has been announced and will help secure enterprises against phishing attacks

On Tuesday Cloudflare announced Digital Experience Monitoring, an all-in-one dashboard that helps CIOs understand how critical applications and Internet services are performing across their entire corporate network.

When employees left the office in 2020, IT teams suddenly lost crucial visibility, slowing them down, wasting countless hours in investigation, and clogging up valuable resources with maintenance. 

According to Gartner, “by 2026, at least 60% of I&O leaders will use Digital Experience Monitoring to measure application, services and endpoint performance from the user’s viewpoint, up from less than 20% in 2021.” 

Today Cloudflare further announced several new Zero Trust email security products to help protect employees from phishing attacks.

Email remains one of the biggest security threats to businesses: In 2022, Cloudflare Area 1 identified and kept almost 2.3 billion unwanted messages out of customer inboxes.

Now, Cloudflare is providing organisations with a simple and robust phishing and malware protection that is deeply integrated with its Zero Trust platform which will help to secure all an organisation’s applications and data.

Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare said, “You can’t have a complete Zero Trust solution without securing email, given that a huge proportion of all cyber attacks begin with phishing.”

“In 2022, Cloudflare Area 1 identified and kept almost 2.3 billion unwanted messages out of customer inboxes.”

“Today we’re filling a void in the marketplace that has been underinvested in for the last ten years, with the first set of deeply integrated solutions that bring together Cloudflare Area 1 email security and our Zero Trust platform,” said Prince.

The most recent Online Crime Survey from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) established that business email and account compromise, which falls under the category of malicious phishing, caused the biggest financial damage to US businesses, with a total cost of approximately $2.4 billion.

Moreover, email security is a challenge for companies, because they have to make use of multiple vendors, elaborate installations and allocate a lot of their IT team’s time.
