Click Here! (safely): Automagical Browser Isolation for potentially unsafe links in email

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced a new feature called "Email Link Isolation" that aims to protect users from malicious links in emails. When a user clicks on a suspicious link, they are first shown an interstitial page recommending caution before being taken to the website. The user can then choose to proceed and open the webpage in a remote isolated browser running on Cloudflare's global network instead of their local machine. This helps protect both the user and the company from potential threats. During the beta period, Email Link Isolation is available for free on all plans and will be included at no extra cost with Cloudflare's PhishGuard plan after the beta.
