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 from a legitimate sender. 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 the email 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 each email based on frequency counting, ensuring the system's effectiveness in identifying potential threats. Cloudflare's innovative approach combines data analysis and classification techniques to provide email recipients with a reliable defense mechanism against BEC attacks, ultimately safeguarding organizations from financial losses and data breaches.
