On the 20th February 2019, Drupal announced that they had discovered a severe vulnerability and that they would be releasing a patch for it the next day. Drupal is a Content Management System used by many of our customers, which made it important that our WAF protect against the vulnerability as quickly as possible.
As soon as Drupal released their patch, we analysed it to establish what kind of payloads could be used against it and created rules to mitigate these. By analysing the patch we were able to put together WAF rules to protect cloudflare customers running Drupal.

The security landscape is essentially AI versus AI. May the best man, err, machine win.
Cumulus Networks is proud to announce CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named us to its 2019 Data Center 50 list.
This annual list identifies technology suppliers that offer the right management tools to help businesses and solution providers ensure data centers run with maximum performance and efficiency. We couldn’t be more thrilled! This accomplishment really solidifies our vision — to build the modern data center networks for applications of the future.
It’s been a while since we updated our blog community with our evolved vision for the modern data center, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to review a little bit about what Cumulus has been doing lately and how our products have evolved.
We pride ourselves on providing networking software to design, run and operate modern data centers that are simple, open, resilient, scalable and operationally efficient.
Our network operating system, Cumulus Linux, is a powerful, open network operating system that allows you to automate, customize and scale using web-scale principles like the world’s largest data centers.
When it comes to data center networks, traditional network solutions are unable keep up with the pace of Continue reading
