Top 50 most impersonated brands in phishing attacks and new tools you can use to protect your employees from them

What's this blog post about?

The new features in Cloudflare's DNS filtering service provide enhanced anti-phishing security through automatic detection of confusable or similar domain names that are registered to phish brands. The system uses a combination of machine learning algorithms and pattern recognition techniques to identify potential threats, enabling organizations to proactively block access to these malicious sites before they can harm users. In addition, customers using Cloudflare's Zero Trust product suite can easily enforce blocking rules against matched domains for even greater protection against phishing attacks. The new features are currently available in beta mode for Enterprise customers and include: 1. Private scanning of domains to detect confusable or similar domain names that may be used for phishing brands. 2. Ability to save queries and set up alerts on matched domains. 3. Integration with Cloudflare's Zero Trust product suite, allowing users to create blocking rules against matched domains. These enhancements represent a significant step forward in the ongoing battle against cybercrime, providing organizations with powerful new tools to protect their employees and customers from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks. For more information about these features or to sign up for beta access, visit Cloudflare's website at www.cloudflare.com
