Anti-DDoS

ANTI-DDOS - Cloudflare offers a wide range of network security services. The flagship service is high-quality protection against DDoS attacks. Cloudflare's protection is characterized by a very low Time to Mitigate (TTM) thanks to the high network bandwidth and numerous data centers in over 300 cities across 100 countries. Cloudflare also provides Firewall-as-a-Service, which can globally serve as a layer of network security for internet access (including integrated IDS/IPS).

Cloud Security

CLOUD SECURITY a CNAPP - Cloudflare also provides services for developers and DevOps teams to streamline software development processes. A serverless-based platform allows the execution of application code without the need for managing infrastructure and components on which the code runs. This platform automatically creates workloads, provides disk space, and offers API access. Various enhancements such as video streaming support, chat rooms, and support for payment processes make it easier to conduct application testing and manage it effectively.

Cloud Security - Security Access Service Edge

CLOUD SECURITY a Security Access Service Edge (SASE) - Cloudflare offers an integrated Zero Trust platform that combines several product classes. At the core of the Zero Trust platform is SASE solution (Secure Access Service Edge), which provides multi-layered protection in a distributed environment, especially in the context of connections to public networks. SASE enables the definition of unified security policies regardless of the location of the protected resources and also includes protection for remote users. SASE solutions can be equipped with additional modules that allow for the filtering of sensitive data (DLP - Data Loss Prevention) and CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) tools that integrate with SaaS applications, enabling breach detection and remediation actions. Another tool in the Zero Trust platform is the Cloud Email Security service. Its primary goal is to effectively process and filter email messages to eliminate potentially malicious or unwanted content, such as phishing, malware, or spam.

Email Gateway

Cloudflare Email Security - is an advanced Secure Email Gateway (SEG) service that effectively protects organizations from email-based threats such as phishing, ransomware, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks. It leverages machine learning and signature analysis to neutralize threats before they reach users' inboxes. Key Benefits: ADVANCED PROTECTION: Blocks phishing, ransomware, and sophisticated social engineering attacks like BEC, which often lack obvious malicious elements such as links or attachments. BEC attacks involve impersonating high-profile individuals within an organization, such as directors or managers, to trick employees into performing certain actions, such as transferring funds to fraudulent accounts or sharing sensitive information. With advanced detection algorithms, Cloudflare Email Security identifies and prevents such fraud attempts. FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS: Supports integration through DNS MX records for filtering traffic before message delivery, as well as API-based integration for platforms like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. RETROACTIVE SCANNING: Scans emails that were delivered prior to the SEG deployment. VERSATILITY: Protects both incoming and outgoing emails, while also filtering unwanted content like spam. Cloudflare Email Security ensures comprehensive protection against evolving email threats, helping organizations maintain security and operational integrity.

VPN Gateway

Cloudflare Access - is a modern Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) service that replaces traditional VPNs, providing secure, fast, and scalable access to corporate applications and resources. By integrating with identity systems like STA or Entra AD, it enables seamless deployment in hybrid and cloud environments. Cloudflare Access eliminates the challenges of traditional VPNs, such as low performance and excessive privileges, by offering identity-, context-, and device-based access. Leveraging Cloudflare's global infrastructure, it ensures low latency and smooth access for users worldwide. With simple access policy management and advanced Zero Trust protection, Cloudflare Access guarantees the security of applications and data. This solution is ideal for organizations seeking to streamline remote work, enhance security, and migrate to the cloud seamlessly.

Web Application Firewall

WAF - Cloudflare can actively monitors and mitigates any web/API breaches by analyzing incoming requests directed at applications. Moreover, services like CDN enable users to access applications conveniently, regardless of their geographic location. Application continuity can also be ensured through load balancing services, which enhance service availability. Additionally, the use of Rate Limiting technology in conjunction with Bot Management effectively restricts the use of application environments by automated scripts, resulting in reduced production environment costs. In the context of application security, Cloudflare offers protection against application-layer DDoS attacks (L7 DDoS) as well as DDoS attacks on DNS servers.WAF

Web Gateway

Cloudflare Gateway - is a modern, cloud-based Secure Web Gateway (SWG) service that provides comprehensive protection for employees' internet traffic. Leveraging Cloudflare's global infrastructure, this service offers low latency and high performance, eliminating the need to route traffic through centralized access points. Key Benefits of Cloudflare Gateway: ACCELERATED INTERNET ACCESS: By inspecting traffic within Cloudflare's global network, users experience faster and more responsive browsing without the need to tunnel traffic through centralized locations. BLOCKING KNOWN AND UNKNOWN THREATS: Using advanced threat detection models and DNS and HTTP telemetry, Cloudflare Gateway effectively identifies and neutralizes potential attacks, protecting users from phishing, ransomware, and other threats. MONITORING NETWORK-WIDE TRAFFIC: Integration with other Zero Trust services enables full visibility into an organization’s internet traffic, regardless of user location or the devices being used. EASY IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT: With predefined security policy categories, administrators can quickly create and audit access rules, simplifying the security management process. Cloudflare Gateway is a key component of a Zero Trust security strategy, protecting users regardless of where they work. This allows organizations to effectively secure their assets against modern cyber threats.
