Summary
This post details how Cloudflare Area 1 Email Security and Cloudflare One Data Loss Prevention (DLP) work together to protect sensitive data within corporate email. It explains how DLP inspects and filters HTTP(s) traffic to corporate email applications like Google Suite and O365, preventing the upload of sensitive information. Area 1's role is highlighted in enforcing TLS standards for partner domains, preventing passive data loss through account takeover prevention (phishing detection), protecting against malicious links via Email Link Isolation, and stopping ransomware by analyzing attachment hashes. The post emphasizes the layered security approach provided by the combination of these products.
