Moving their website to a more service oriented architecture
Talk Track:
So let’s summarize here.
The three common problems we often see customers wanting to solve are:
Staying online during a DDoS attack
Keep sensitive data secure
Stop malicious bots
At the core to the solution is Cloudflare’s global network, which gives us a scale advantage in terms of resilience and intelligence.
Within every data center, we run an integrated, easy-to-use stack of security, performance, and reliability services.
This means we can secure your site or application without compromising speed. In fact, it will likely be faster than without Cloudflare.
Even though we have a robust stack of services, they can be easily configured and administered, either programmatically through APIs, or through different members of your team through multi-user, role-based access control.
