Cloudflare: Protection, speed & control für your IT

IT that thinks for itself – performance that lasts

Many people know Cloudflare from that little “I’m human” tick on websites. But behind it is actually one of the most powerful platforms for network security, performance and automation. Cloudflare makes companies faster, more secure and more flexible – whether on-premises, in the cloud or hybrid.

Why Cloudflare?

Modern IT infrastructures are under pressure: they have to fend off attacks, adapt flexibly to new requirements and remain reliable at the same time.

Cloudflare ensures that data and applications get reliably from A to B without providing unnecessary attack surfaces. Companies can publish their internet-facing services without exposing them directly to the network and protect internal applications without having to rely on complicated VPNs. Automated security mechanisms fend off attacks at an early stage and enable IT teams to control processes via APIs instead of having to deal with manual configurations. It doesn’t matter whether the infrastructure is on-prem, in the cloud or hybrid – Cloudflare ensures a secure connection.

What does Cloudflare do?

Cloudflare is much more than just a shield for websites. It offers an entire suite of security, performance and network management solutions:

DDoS-Protection: detect and fend off attacks before they cause damage – fully automatically. Legitimate users are still granted access in “I’m Under Attack Mode”.

Web Application Firewall (WAF): Protection for web applications with customized rules and OWASP ModSecurity support.

Fast DNS: One of the fastest DNS services in the world, with protection against spoofing and attacks.

Reverse Proxy: Shields servers and optimizes traffic with intelligent routing and caching.

Content Delivery Network (CDN): Cloudflare stores frequently accessed content at global edge locations, reducing load times and server load.

Zero Trust Security: Identity-based access to corporate resources – more secure than traditional VPNs.

Cloudflare Tunnel: Publish and access applications on both the public internet and internal network without complexity and security risks.

E-Mail-Security: Phishing, spam and threats are filtered out.

Remote Browser Isolation: Surfing without risk – suspicious sites are isolated.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): More security for cloud applications with granular access control.

MPLS-Ablösung: Get rid of expensive, rigid networks – Cloudflare makes connections more flexible and cheaper.
