Trends in DDoS and Bots for 2019: Featuring Guest Speaker from IDC

Gartner estimates by the end of 2020 over 20 million Internet of Things (IoT) devices will be online. Every day the automotive, aviation, consumer goods and utilities industries (just to name a few) are pushing new boundaries in how customers interact with technology. While this evolution unlocks incredible potential, security and performance challenges put IoT device manufacturers and providers at risk of security incidents and unable to meet customers' rapidly growing expectations.

Security-wise many devices are still treated like machines from early in the century: release patches on Tuesdays and cross our fingers our users update. Performance-wise centralized cloud providers are not built to deliver ultra low-latent responses to millions of devices with a global footprint.

Join our webinar and take a look at how Cloudflare is helping IoT manufacturers and providers meet emerging security and performance challenges.

Almost every organization uses cloud storage as part of its business data workflow, or backup and archive strategy. Getting to the next level - choosing the most efficient mix of cloud storage, bandwidth services, and content delivery services can be the key to unlocking dramatic savings for your business while providing better service to your customers.

Nodecraft, a cloud platform for multiplayer online gaming servers was already delivering their service in the cloud. In November of 2018, the company realized they could dramatically reduce their costs if they re-evaluated their cloud strategy. By moving 23TB from AWS S3 to Backblaze B2 in just 7 hours, Nodecraft today pays only 1/4th of what they did before for the same class of cloud storage.

In this webinar, we’ll learn how Nodecraft leveraged Backblaze’s storage and Cloudflare's rendering expansive network to excel in the already competitive field of game server hosting. Join Nodecraft, Cloudflare and Backblaze in a conversation on cloud storage, egress fees, and DDoS protection for gaming companies.

The internet is changing - make sure your applications don’t get left behind

Time is the most valuable commodity that we all inevitably never seem to have enough of. As more and more digital services compete for users’ attention, they’re willing to spend less time waiting for applications and web pages to load. At the same time, the architecture that powers these services is becoming more complex, and increasing resource demands are leading to longer load times.

In this webinar, we’ll look at how the building blocks of the modern web affect real-world page loading, and what developers and sysadmins can do to make sure that their applications and domains deliver minimal load times for maximum user satisfaction. We’ll hear from Cloudflare’s web performance leader Patrick Meenan to learn about:

- The foundational elements of the web, and how they impact web performance and site speed
- The common mistakes that slow down pages, and how you can avoid them
- New web standards, and how to prepare your domains for them
- How cloud infrastructure models are affecting page performance across the web
- A technical overview of HTTP/2 prioritization and JavaScript improvements, and how they will improve page load times
- The advanced technologies that will shape the future of the web in years to come

Whether you are just exploring moving workloads to the cloud, or are fully cloud-enabled, one thing is certain: security has changed from a purely on-premise environment.

As cybersecurity risks continue to grow with more advanced attackers and more digital surface area, how you think about staying secure without compromising user experience must adapt.

During this talk, you will:

-Hear how global consistency, agile controls, and predictable costs are goals and principles that matter in this new environment
-Be able to evaluate your current plans against a "customer security model"

At Cloudflare, we not only protect 12 million domains against DDoS attacks with our global network but also accelerate their performance. Our 150+ data centers all over the world puts us in a key position to serve content from the edge to the end users, blazingly fast.

Join this webinar to learn about:

• How performance affects your revenue
• What is the right metric to measure and how
• Challenges in achieving an optimal performance on your web assets
• How to improve your website’s performance and user-experience
• Learn from industry experts on best practices for improving web performance

Preventing data breaches and stopping malicious bots has become a top priority for many companies. Cloudflare blocks over 400 million malicious requests each day and from this we know that installing and forgetting a Web Application Firewall is no longer enough. In order to keep up, rules must not only be updated and monitored constantly, but they must also be augmented with other security services to provide an effective solution.

In this webinar you will learn:

- What are the risks of only relying on a WAF
- Why network intelligence matters when blocking the most sophisticated attacks
- Why implementing security services shouldn’t be difficult
- Why improved security doesn’t need to diminish performance

Durch die rapide Akzeptanz der Cloud werden Internetanwendungen immer komplexeren DDoS-Angriffen, versuchtem Datendiebstahl und böswilligem Bot-Traffic ausgesetzt. Der Schutz von Anwendungen gegen Attacken führt von Natur aus zu zusätzlichen Performanceeinbußen, während gleichzeitig die Erwartungen an eine schnelle Performance und eine herausragende User Experience stetig steigen. Durch den Wandel hin zur öffentlichen Cloud erweisen sich hardwarebasierte Lösungen immer häufiger als ineffizient und Kunden wenden sich Content Delivery Networks und cloudbasierten Sicherheitsdiensten zu, um damit ihre Anforderungen erfüllt zu sehen.
