Unraveling the Realm of Cyber Crime: Confronting Online Cyber Threats
With the number of risks associated with being online constantly growing, a new approach is required. The Internet was not built with current threats in mind.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a more secure version of the Internet available? One that could be used by not only our own organizations, but one that would automatically be used by all external visitors to our web sites and applications? One that could be used by mobile employees regardless of where they travel in the world? And one that has a constantly-evolving set of security tools built into it?
Cloudflare is a global network that has been purpose-built to be put in harm’s way, to absorb and stop the biggest attacks the world has ever seen, and to be used as a shield between your organization and the Internet. Our products are not deployed one at a time for each customer, they have already been deployed at global scale, and we continue to build constantly.
At this session we will share some of the recent trends that we’re seeing, along with methods to protect from them and informational tools you can use to stay up to date on our changing online environment.
Cloudflare doesn’t just protect websites – our global network has been built to shield your network for all of the reasons you use the Internet. We call this approach a secure connectivity cloud, and it is how we are #BuildingABetterInternet
