Utixo Integrates Cloudflare Cybersecurity Services
Utixo has signed an agreement with CloudFlare, one of the leading providers of global cybersecurity services, thus going on to strengthen its focus on protecting clients’ ICT infrastructures.
Cloudflare is a leading global internet security services company, Cloudflare serves about 20% of the world’s web traffic and blocks an average of 209 billion threats per day. Its vast network spans more than 250 cities in over 100 countries, with a total network capacity of 100 Tbps2.
Cloudflare boosts performance and security
Cloudflare offers a range of security services integrated with Utixo services that bring multiple benefits, in particular in addition to protection they enable improved performance of mail systems, cloud servers and websites.
Here are some of the main services offered by Cloudflare:
- Content Delivery Network (CDN): Cloudflare operates a large network of servers distributed around the world. When a user visits a website, Cloudflare automatically routes the request to the nearest server, improving page loading speed.
- DDoS Protection: Cloudflare protects websites from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by filtering malicious traffic and ensuring that the site remains online and accessible to legitimate users.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Cloudflare provides a Web application firewall that blocks common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) and other attempts to compromise site security.
- SSL/TLS: Cloudflare provides free SSL certificates to enable HTTPS encryption on websites. This improves the security of communications between the user’s browser and the web server.
- Load Balancing: Cloudflare automatically load balances traffic across multiple servers, ensuring optimal performance even during traffic spikes.
- Traffic Analysis: Cloudflare offers tools to monitor site traffic, identify threats, and analyze performance.
- Stream: A video streaming service that allows developers to easily integrate videos into their websites.
- Workers: A serverless platform that allows developers to run custom code on Cloudflare’s network, improving performance and user experience.
