What is your latency to our network?
Blazing fast performance
With Cloudflare, your corporate network can run faster than the Internet, thanks to a customized Linux server platform, industry-leading innovations, and direct connections to nearly every service provider, cloud provider, and major enterprise.
Security without tradeoffs
We do not just secure the network — we secure the whole company. And we use our own security products. We ensure TLS encryption for all data in transit and maintain strict physical security standards. We lead the industry in enforcing security hygiene and protecting the fundamental layers of the Internet such as DNS and BGP.
Privacy first
Cloudflare builds data privacy into everything we do. Since we do not generate revenue from advertising, we default against the collection and retention of personal data we process on your behalf. We have committed to challenging government requests for access to encryption and authentication keys.
Get to any network — faster
Interconnected with over 12,000 major service providers, cloud providers, and enterprise networks, Cloudflare is your own fast lane on the Internet. By avoiding network hops and optimizing traffic paths, we drastically reduce latency while improving application performance and the end user experience.
Compliance and privacy – built-in
We give customers control over information passing over our network and make it easy to enforce country-specific rules for access management. Our Data Localization Suite provides granular controls on where data is inspected to ease compliance burdens. We engineer our products to meet the highest standards of security and user privacy, including by championing security best practices like BGP RPKI and new standards like Oblivious DNS over HTTP.
