AI-powered attacks are getting more sophisticated.

AI-powered attacks are getting more sophisticated. However, AI-powered defense is evolving even faster. At Cloudflare, AI is already detecting and stopping threats faster than human researchers ever could. How? Machine learning models analyze millions of attack patterns in real-time, identifying anomalies and blocking threats before they spread. AI detects novel attack patterns before they even make headlines AI reduces false positives, helping security teams focus on real risks AI learns from past incidents, adapting faster than traditional security tools.

Honoring Dave Täht and his contributions to a better Internet (video calls included)

Dave Täht died this week (August 11, 1965 – April 1, 2025), and Tom Strickx, Principal Network Engineer at Cloudflare, honors his contributions to help build a better Internet. Dave Täht was an American network engineer, musician, lecturer, asteroid exploration advocate, and Internet activist. Without his work, FQ-CoDel wouldn't exist — and low-latency networking, from Wi-Fi to Starlink and video calls, would likely be worse today.
