Protect your email inbox with Email security.
Email security is the practice of protecting your email inbox from cyber attacks and unwanted communication sent via email.
Cloudflare's Email security uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), threat intelligence, and expert security rules to analyze every incoming email.
Email security protects your email inbox from phishing attacks, malware, Business Email Compromise attacks, and vendor email fraud.
Cloudflare's Email security integrates with your existing email provider (such as Outlook or Gmail), and reduces the amount of spam and phishing emails landing in your inbox. You can configure Email security via API, BCC/Journaling, or MX/Inline deployment. All three deployments aim at protecting your organization from malicious activities.
When you complete the setup process, the Cloudflare dashboard will display the Email security overview page.
The Email security overview provides you with:
- Quick actions, where you can:
- View submissions
- Manage detection settings: manage allow policies, blocked senders, trusted domains, impersonation registry and additional detections.
- Run screens
- Recommendations: A series of recommendations. For example, you may be recommended to learn how to submit emails for submission, create policies, or protect users at risk of impersonation
- Email security metrics: Activity from the last seven days.
- Recently modified policies A list of modified policies.
- Education and resources: Links to implementation guides, Email security changelogs, and API documentation
To access the Email security overview:
- Log in to Cloudflare One.
- Go to Email security > Overview.
