Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) has launched the Cloudforce One threat events platform, a new real-time intelligence system for monitoring cyberattacks across the Internet. The platform leverages Cloudflare's global network, which blocked an average of 227 billion cyber threats daily during Q4 2024.
Built on Cloudflare Workers AI, the platform provides organizations with a comprehensive view of attack streams, actionable insights, and personalized threat intelligence based on specific environments, industries, or regions. The solution addresses the growing challenge of cybercrime, projected to cost $10.5 trillion in 2025, by offering context-rich threat intelligence that helps security teams prioritize and respond to the most critical threats.
The platform's key features include an attacker timelapse view, detailed threat actor profiles, and actionable indicators of compromise (IoCs), designed to help organizations improve their security posture and operational efficiency.

The new platform provides comprehensive security monitoring across email solutions, SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, and web applications. Key features include:
- An at-a-glance snapshot of organizational security posture
- Protection for SaaS applications containing sensitive information
- Real-time risk identification for issues like externally shared files and exposed credentials

Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) has announced the expansion of end-to-end post-quantum cryptography support for its Zero Trust Network Access solution. The company is setting a new industry standard by offering immediate quantum-safe connectivity for web browser to corporate web application communications, with plans to extend support to all IP protocols by mid-2025.
This advancement addresses the growing concern that quantum computers could break conventional cryptography, potentially exposing secured data. With over 35% of human-generated traffic on Cloudflare's network already benefiting from post-quantum protection, the company's solution helps protect against 'harvest-now, decrypt-later' attacks.
The implementation allows organizations to secure their web applications with quantum protection without individually upgrading each system. This aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) announcement to phase out conventional cryptographic algorithms and adopt post-quantum cryptography by 2030, as experts estimate significant risks could emerge within five years.
