Open email links with Security Center

You can now investigate links in emails with Cloudflare Security Center to generate a report containing a myriad of technical details: a phishing scan, SSL certificate data, HTTP request and response data, page performance data, DNS records, what technologies and libraries the page uses, and more.

Open links in Security Center

From Investigation, go to View details, and look for the Links identified section. Select Open in Security Center next to each link. Open in Security Center allows your team to quickly generate a detailed report about the link with no risk to the analyst or your environment.

Escalate user submissions

After triaging your users' submissions, you can now escalate them to our team for reclassification (which are human reviewed). User submissions from the submission alias, PhishNet, and our API can all be escalated.

Escalate

From Reclassifications, go to User submissions. Select the three dots next to any of the user submissions, then select Escalate to create a team request for reclassification. The dashboard will then show you the submission on the Team Submissions tab.

Increased transparency for phishing email submissions

You now have more transparency about team and user submissions for phishing emails through a Reclassification tab in the Zero Trust dashboard.

Reclassifications happen when users or admins submit a phish to Email Security. Cloudflare reviews and - in some cases - reclassifies these emails based on improvements to our machine learning models.

This new tab increases your visibility into this process, allowing you to view what submissions you have made and what the outcomes of those submissions are.

Use the Reclassification area to review submitted phishing emails

Use Logpush for Email Security user actions

You can now send user action logs for Email Security to an endpoint of your choice with Cloudflare Logpush.

Filter logs matching specific criteria you have set or select from multiple fields you want to send. For all users, we will log the date and time, user ID, IP address, details about the message they accessed, and what actions they took.

When creating a new Logpush, remember to select Audit logs as the dataset and filter by Field: “ResourceType”, Operator: “starts with”, and Value: “email_security”.
