Introducing Precursor: detecting agentic behavior with continuous client-side signals

Bot mitigation is an adversarial game: attackers adapt, defenders respond, and the cycle continues. At Cloudflare, we stay ahead by combining visibility across our global network with signals from the client-side environment. At the network level, we analyze over 1 trillion requests per day to understand reputation, patterns, and anomalies across more than 20% of the web.

Why we cannot wait for better post-quantum signature algorithms

RSA and ECC, cryptographic algorithms that we’ve all relied on for decades, are vulnerable to the attack of sufficiently advanced quantum computers. Such quantum computers do not exist yet, but they seem to be coming sooner than expected. Luckily, the solution is already available: migrate to ML-KEM encryption and ML-DSA signatures, which are designed to be resistant to quantum attack. They were standardized in 2024 by the U.S.

The post-quantum EO is an important milestone. Now it's time to get to work

On June 22, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14409, "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks." The order sets a December 31, 2030, deadline for federal agencies to transition their most sensitive systems to post-quantum encryption, and a December 31, 2031, deadline for post-quantum authentication. The EO also directs federal contractors to comply with post-quantum Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) by the end of 2030.

Introducing the Cloudflare One stack: agent-powered deployment

Adopting or migrating to a Zero Trust network architecture can be a daunting task. Before a single policy changes, teams have to recall how their network is actually built: which applications exist, their authentication and authorization constructs, how traffic flows between them, and any assumptions the current architecture makes. This hands-on process requires practitioners to decode the intent behind every security and routing policy in place.

Bringing more agent harnesses and frameworks to Cloudflare, starting with Flue

2026 is the year agent harnesses go to production. The software that controls the model’s access to the outside world — harnesses like Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and Project Think — has matured to the point where teams are deploying agents as real, load-bearing infrastructure, not just prototypes. But building agents that survive production is hard.

Cloudflare DMARC Management is now generally available

When we first launched DMARC Management, it was driven by a simple belief: every domain on the Internet deserves strong email authentication, and cost should never be the reason it doesn't happen. As part of our mission to help build a better Internet, we made DMARC Management available for free to every Cloudflare customer. We wanted to give everyone the tools to understand and improve their DMARC posture without needing to hire an email security consultant or parse XML report files by hand.

Growing the Cloudflare AI team with talent from Ensemble AI

Today, we’re excited to share that key members of the team at Ensemble AI are joining Cloudflare to help accelerate our work in AI infrastructure and make it easier for developers to run powerful AI models efficiently at scale. Ensemble AI, founded in 2023 in San Francisco, has spent the last few years focused on one of the most important challenges in AI: making large models faster, smaller, and more cost-effective to serve, without sacrificing quality.
