Cloudflare
FeaturedHelping build a better internet.
Founded in 2009 by Matthew Prince, Lee Holloway, and Michelle Zatlyn in San Francisco, Cloudflare was born out of a spam-fighting project called Project Honey Pot. The company built one of the world's largest and most interconnected networks, now spanning over 300 cities in 100+ countries. Cloudflare protects and accelerates millions of websites including major enterprises, governments, and critical internet infrastructure. The company went public on the NYSE in September 2019 and has since expanded from its core CDN and DDoS protection products into a comprehensive security and edge computing platform. Cloudflare's Workers platform allows developers to run code at the edge globally, and its Zero Trust products are transforming enterprise network security.
