Launching the Vite Ecosystem Fund
Cloudflare is distributing the first $301,300 of the Vite Ecosystem Fund to open source projects and maintainers. The recipients were chosen by a panel of Vite stack core team members, including maintainers not employed by Cloudflare.
The post-quantum future of web privacy
Cryptographic protocols like Privacy Pass help keep web sites safe from abuse while keeping their users private. This post looks at the quantum threat to these protocols, and some new post-quantum cryptography that may help close the gap.
Agents aren’t humans (but they kinda are)
AI agents act for millions, but servers see intermediaries that strip user visibility. This post defines the problem space and introduces a collaborative approach to safely identifying, allowing, and managing this automated traffic.
See the agents, set the terms: New visibility and control for personal agents
Personal AI agents have changed how users interact with the web, blurring the lines between automated and human traffic. Learn how Cloudflare gives site owners visibility and control to manage personal agent access.
Introducing Zero Wire, a hub for investigating critical Internet vulnerabilities
Zero Wire on Cloudflare Radar pairs plain-language briefings with global attack telemetry and remediation steps. Triage critical CVEs faster and decide how to protect your infrastructure.
How we halved DNS build delay and cut memory use by 85%
Zone setting changes used to rebuild entire DNS zones, even ones with tens of millions of records. Here is how we built a planner that picks the smallest safe build, cutting full builds by 40%, peak memory by 85%, and halving build delay.
4 real? Tracking exploitation and patching of eMudhra’s weak keys
Four, just four: that’s the key to break into any unpatched connection on the Internet that is using eMudhra certificates. Here’s how we quickly patched Cloudflare, what evidence we can see of attempted exploitation, and how much of the rest of the Internet remains exposed.
Cloudflare services for private origins is now generally available
Public traffic to private origins, with WAF, bot management, caching, and Workers, is now available to every customer with Cloudflare One connectivity.
Cloudflare DDoS Threat Report 2026 Q3: More swarms, fewer giants
Cloudflare mitigated over 8,200 DDoS attacks per hour in Q3 2026 as attackers shifted to shorter, high-frequency strikes. Explore the latest threat data, including the collapse of CLDAP vectors and the impact of recent botnet takedowns.
Introducing the Cloudflare PHP Capture the Flag challenge
We are launching a PHP Capture the Flag challenge integrated with our Bug Bounty program to test our WAF protections. Security researchers are invited to bypass our defenses and capture the flag to help make the Internet safer.
What took the Internet offline in Q3 2026
An examination of global Internet disruptions observed by Cloudflare Radar during the third quarter of 2026. This review analyzes how power failures, natural disasters, and government shutdowns impacted network connectivity and traffic.
Cross-request KV cache exposure in the GLM-5.3 Workers AI model, and our remediation with SGLang
A configuration mismatch in GLM 5.3 on Workers AI triggered an SGLang bug that exposed KV cache pages across requests. Here is how we addressed the issue.
Origin Range Requests: Serving large files without range-request tuning
Naive byte-range caching can waste gigabytes of origin bandwidth on small requests. We rebuilt our cache architecture in Pingora to coordinate partial fetches automatically, cutting R2 p99 latency in half.
Bringing post-quantum cryptography to geographically fenced key management
Cloudflare's new post-quantum GeoKey Manager protects geographically fenced decryption keys from harvest now, decrypt later attacks. Learn how we redesigned our cryptography stack to support strict data sovereignty in a post-quantum world.
Localizing compliance at scale: Achieving South Korea’s ISMS certification
Cloudflare has achieved South Korea's ISMS certification following an audit across 80 controls. Learn how we localized user consent flows, adapted social sign-up paths at the edge, and validated our global security program.
Introducing full transaction detection for Cloudflare WAF
Cloudflare's web application firewall can now correlate an HTTP request with its response. Full transaction detection helps every customer find successful exploits, data exposure, and risky misconfigurations that request-only inspection can miss.
Cloudflare deploys protections against php2shell vulnerability
Cloudflare has deployed default web application firewall (WAF) protections for newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities before public disclosure. The rules use request and response signals to stop exploit attempts and prevent exposed data from reaching attackers.
How Commerce.com and Cloudflare are getting storefronts ready for AI agents
Almost 100,000 Commerce.com domains now give AI agents real shopping tools through WebMCP on Cloudflare. Here's how we turned it on across every store at once, while keeping each merchant in control.
