Cloudflare had two patents in future of work during Q2 2024. Cloudflare Inc’s patent filed in Q2 2024 focuses on a system that analyzes emails to determine the likelihood of them being from a legitimate sender or associated with a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack. The system extracts information such as the display name, email address, and domain of the sender to calculate a score indicating the probability of legitimacy. It then uses classifiers to determine the message type of the email and combines this information with the score to make a final determination regarding the potential BEC attack.

Application: Business email compromise detection system (Patent ID: US20240144190A1)
Cloudflare Inc. has developed a method and system for detecting Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks by analyzing emails received by an email recipient. The method involves extracting information such as the display name, email address, and domain of the email sender to determine a score indicating the probability of the email being legitimate. By inputting the email content into classifiers based on message types, the system can identify the type of message and assess whether it is associated with a BEC attack. Depending on the score and message type, the system can take actions such as modifying the email to indicate a BEC attack, blocking the email transmission, or allowing it to proceed.
Furthermore, the system can consider additional factors like the reputation score of the email sender's IP address and domain to enhance the accuracy of detecting BEC attacks. The method also involves updating the score for emails based on frequency counting, ensuring the system remains effective in identifying potential threats. Cloudflare's approach aims to provide email recipients with a reliable mechanism for detecting and preventing BEC attacks, ultimately enhancing email security and protecting users from malicious activities.
