How does CloudFlare protect my website from attacks?

Asked 6 months ago
CloudFlare protects websites from attacks through multiple layers of security measures. Firstly, it employs a global network of data centers strategically located around the world, which help in distributing and caching website content closer to visitors while minimizing downtime risks. This eliminates a significant portion of attack traffic from ever reaching the website's server. Additionally, CloudFlare has a robust web application firewall (WAF) that identifies and blocks malicious traffic, including known attack patterns and emerging threats. It also offers DDoS protection by absorbing and mitigating large-scale attacks, ensuring uninterrupted website access. CloudFlare's intelligent threat intelligence system continuously analyzes website traffic patterns, adapting security rules to counter evolving threats. Additionally, it provides SSL/TLS encryption, protecting data transmission from unauthorized access. With these comprehensive security measures, CloudFlare acts as a protective barrier, safeguarding websites and their visitors from various types of attacks.
