Post-quantum cryptography goes GA
Over the last twelve months, we have been talking about the new baseline of encryption on the Internet: post-quantum cryptography. During Birthday Week last year we announced that our beta of Kyber was available for testing, and that Cloudflare Tunnel could be enabled with post-quantum cryptography. Earlier this year, we made our stance clear that this foundational technology should be available to everyone for free, forever.
Today, we have hit a milestone after six years and 31 blog posts in the making: we’re starting to roll out General Availability1 of post-quantum cryptography support to our customers, services, and internal systems as described more fully below. This includes products like Pingora for origin connectivity, 1.1.1.1, R2, Argo Smart Routing, Snippets, and so many more.
This is a milestone for the Internet. We don't yet know when quantum computers will have enough scale to break today's cryptography, but the benefits of upgrading to post-quantum cryptography now are clear. Fast connections and future-proofed security are all possible today because of the advances made by Cloudflare, Google, Mozilla, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology in the United States, the Internet Engineering Task Force, and numerous academic institutions

Easily manage AI crawlers with our new bot categories
Today, we’re excited to announce that any Cloudflare user, on any plan, can choose specific categories of bots that they want to allow or block, including AI crawlers.
As the popularity of generative AI has grown, content creators and policymakers around the world have started to ask questions about what data AI companies are using to train their models without permission. As with all new innovative technologies, laws will likely need to evolve to address different parties' interests and what’s best for society at large. While we don’t know how it will shake out, we believe that website operators should have an easy way to block unwanted AI crawlers and to also let AI bots know when they are permitted to crawl their websites.
The good news is that Cloudflare already automatically stops scraper bots today. But we want to make it even easier for customers to be sure they are protected, see how frequently AI scrapers might be visiting their sites, and respond to them in more targeted ways. We also recognize that not all AI crawlers are the same and that some AI companies are looking for clear instructions for when they should not crawl a public website.

Cloudflare is free of CAPTCHAs; Turnstile is free for everyone
For years, we’ve written that CAPTCHAs drive us crazy. Humans give up on CAPTCHA puzzles approximately 15% of the time and, maddeningly, CAPTCHAs are significantly easier for bots to solve than they are for humans. We’ve spent the past three and a half years working to build a better experience for humans that’s just as effective at stopping bots. As of this month, we’ve finished replacing every CAPTCHA issued by Cloudflare with Turnstile, our new CAPTCHA replacement (pictured below). Cloudflare will never issue another visual puzzle to anyone, for any reason.
Now that we’ve eliminated CAPTCHAs at Cloudflare, we want to make it easy for anyone to do the same, even if they don’t use other Cloudflare services. We’ve decoupled Turnstile from our platform so that any website operator on any platform can use it just by adding a few lines of code. We’re thrilled to announce that Turnstile is now generally available, and Turnstile’s ‘Managed’ mode is now completely free to everyone for unlimited use.
Easy on humans, hard on bots, private for everyone
There’s a lot that goes into Turnstile’s simple checkbox to ensure that it’s easy for everyone, preserves user privacy, and does its job stopping bots. Continue reading
클라우드, 네트워크, 애플리케이션 및 사용자를 연결하고 보호하는 현대적인 방법인 클라우드 연결성으로 여러분을 모십니다
우리가 근무하면서 가장 좋아하는 부분은 Cloudflare 고객과 대화하는 시간입니다. 고객의 IT 및 보안 문제에 대하여 항상 새롭고 흥미로운 사실을 알게 됩니다.
최근 이러한 대화에 변화가 있었습니다. 고객이 언급하는 가장 큰 문제를 쉽게 정의할 수 없는 경우가 점점 더 많아집니다. 그리고 이러한 문제는 개별 제품이나 주요 기능으로 대처할 수 없는 것입니다.
더 정확히 말하면 IT 및 보안 팀에서는 디지털 환경에 대한 제어 능력을 잃고 있다고 이야기합니다.
제어 능력 상실은 다양한 형태를 띱니다. 고객은 호환성이 걱정되므로 필요성은 알지만 새로운 기능을 채택하는 것을 꺼리는 모습을 보일 수 있습니다. 아니면 비교적 단순한 변경 사항을 적용하는 데 시간과 노력이 많이 들며, 이러한 변경 사항 때문에 더 큰 영향력이 있을 작업에 투입할 시간을 빼앗기고 있다고 언급할 수도 있습니다. 고객이 느끼는 감정을 요약하자면 "팀이나 예산의 규모가 아무리 크더라도 비즈니스를 완벽하게 연결하고 보호하는 데는 절대 충분하지 않다"는 것입니다.
익숙하게 느껴지는 부분이 있으신가요? 그런 부분이 있다 해도 여러분 혼자 그렇게 느끼는 건 아닙니다.
제어 능력을 상실하는 이유
IT 및 보안이 바뀌는 속도는 빨라지고 있으며 무섭도록 복잡해지고 있습니다. IT 및 보안 팀에서는 과거에 비해 더 다양한 기술 도메인을 책임지고 있습니다. 최근 Forrester 연구에서 확인된 변화에 따르면 사내, 원격, 하이브리드 근무자를 보호할 책임이 있는 팀의 52%만이 지난 5년 동안 이러한 책임을 맡았습니다. 한편 46%는 해당 기간 동안 퍼블릭 클라우드 애플리케이션을 Continue reading

Gründe für den Einsatz eines Retro Scan
Kunden berichten uns oft, dass sie nicht wissen, in welchem Zustand die E-Mail-Postfächer ihrer Unternehmen sind. Firmen nutzen ein E-Mail-Sicherheitstool oder den bei Microsoft integrierten Schutz. Oft ist wissen sie aber nicht, wie effektiv ihre aktuelle Lösung tatsächlich arbeitet. Wir haben festgestellt, dass schädliche E-Mails von diesen Werkzeugen oft nicht herausgefiltert werden, wodurch sich das Risiko einer Kompromittierung innerhalb des Unternehmens erhöht.
Im Rahmen unserer Bemühungen, ein besseres Internet zu schaffen, stellen wir Cloudflare-Kunden nun einen Retro Scan zur Verfügung. Mit diesem können sie Nachrichten in ihren Postfächern unter Einsatz fortschrittlicher Machine Learning-Modelle kostenlos scannen. Unser Retro Scan erkennt Bedrohungen und weist auf diese hin, sodass Kunden ihre Postfächer durch eine Behebung innerhalb ihrer E-Mail-Konten bereinigen können. Mit diesen Informationen sind sie außerdem in der Lage, herkömmliche Kontrollen zu implementieren. Sie können also Cloudflare oder ihre bevorzugte Lösung einsetzen, um vergleichbare Bedrohungen in Zukunft daran zu hindern, ihre Postfach überhaupt erst zu erreichen.

The Cloud operating model is all about simplicity—bringing the agility of public clouds together with the security and control that enterprises have traditionally placed importance on. The fundamental expectation is to deploy applications with “one-click”—or one-API call.
In embracing this model, application developers expect to move at warp speed but are often hampered by necessary guardrails imposed by the infrastructure and security teams. For the Modern Enterprise so beholden to rapid software development as part of their innovation lifecycle, this can be frustrating.
The challenge traditionally lies in the complexity of setting up and provisioning infrastructure and security. These problems are compounded in hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, and where multiple teams are involved. Network teams are responsible for configuring and making the network operational. Security teams then take over the definition and implementation of firewall and advanced security policies. This can be multi-layered. Likewise, the application load balancing teams are responsible for ensuring the application performance.
While well intentioned, these teams produce several tickets that can take days to weeks to resolve. As a result, a simple application can take weeks, if not months, months to be deployed.
Application owners and the lines of business owners, want true agility, with Continue reading
