Today we are excited to announce Magic Cloud Networking, supercharged by Cloudflare’s recent acquisition of Nefeli Networks’ innovative technology. These new capabilities to visualize and automate cloud networks will give our customers secure, easy, and seamless connection to public cloud environments.

Securing AI is a top cybersecurity priority and concern for governments and businesses alike. Developers have easy access to pre-trained AI models through platforms like Hugging Face and to AI-generated functions and programs through large language models (LLMs) like GitHub Co-Pilot. This access has spurred developers to create innovative software at an enormously fast pace.

I’m thrilled to announce CrowdStrike’s agreement to acquire Flow Security, a pioneer in data security posture management (DSPM) and the industry’s first and only cloud data runtime security solution. With this acquisition, CrowdStrike is setting the standard for modern cloud security with complete real-time data protection spanning endpoint and cloud environments, delivering the only cloud data protection platform that secures data both at rest and in motion.

CRN has once again named WatchGuard to its prestigious annual Security 100 list as one of the 20 Coolest Network Security Companies Of 2024. The Security 100r ecognizes leading IT security vendors who are committed to working hand in hand with channel partners to protect businesses from cyber threats.

AppSec leaders and security practitioners, rejoice! Automating your security practices using Salt Platform APIs is now easier than ever, empowering developers to integrate APIs quickly and efficiently while helping reduce risk. The newly launched Salt Developer Portal is your one-stop hub for all API security automation needs.

Today, Cloudflare is announcing the development of Firewall for AI, a protection layer that can be deployed in front of Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify abuses before they reach the models. While AI models, and specifically LLMs, are surging, customers tell us that they are concerned about the best strategies to secure their own LLMs. Using LLMs as part of Internet-connected applications introduces new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by bad actors.
