Making the Internet Safer: Highlights from Cloudflare’s Security Week

Welcome to another exciting installment of Security Week at Cloudflare! Our team is immensely proud of our ongoing mission to enhance Internet safety and tackle emerging threats. As our Chief Information Security Officer, Grant Bourzikas, emphasized in his kickoff message, security teams today navigate a complex landscape filled with challenges like vendor sprawl, the surge of AI technologies, and the ever-expanding surface area needing protection.

Innovation Weeks, such as Security Week, offer us a fantastic chance to connect with the broader Internet community. At Cloudflare, our goal is clear: we’re committed to creating a better Internet. We aim to shield it from the looming threat of quantum supercomputers, protect content creators against unauthorized AI scraping, raise awareness about new Internet risks, and pioneer strategies to minimize the reuse of compromised passwords. Addressing these challenges requires a collective effort, and we are thankful to everyone who has engaged with us on these matters—whether through social media, contributions to our open-source projects, or partnerships through our technology program.
