Read MoreHide Full Article

Cloudflare (NET - Free Report) recently announced that it will offer email security to all of its enterprise customers to protect them from phishing and malware attacks. The company stated that it intends to secure all enterprise plan customers with its email security tools after closing the Area 1 Security buyout.

Area 1 Security’s email protection will offer enterprise customers a simplified and effective email security solution implementable in just a click. Integrated with Cloudflare’s Zero Trust approach suite, the email security solution will enable the company’s customers to block malicious emails at the source. It will also allow customers to augment their existing email security solutions.

The latest move will also enable enterprise customers to add additional control, customize, and conduct advanced visibility through analytics. This includes displaying phishing insights within the Cloudflare Security Center and automatically routing suspicious links through remote browser isolation.

The email security solutions will be available for the other paid customers in the upcoming months.

Cloudflare is benefitting from solid demand for security solutions, which became imperative due to aggravated cyberattacks, work and learn from home policies and a zero-trust approach. The company reported revenues of $193.6 million in its latest quarterly report.

In fiscal 2021, Clouflare added 588 large customers (customers with Annualized Revenue greater than $100,000), totaling 1,416 large customers. Notably, large customers represented 54% of 2021 revenues. This uptrend, which has prevailed over the past few quarters, is driven by elevated demand for its cloud-based solutions amid the pandemic-led remote-working wave.
