Cloudflare is a global network designed to make everything you connect to the Internet secure, private, fast, and reliable. We offer Application Security, CDN, DNS, DDoS Protection, SASE, Zero Trust, and Developer Services. Find out how we can help to build a better Internet. 

The proliferation of APIs is only growing, with more than one-third of organizations saying all their applications use APIs today. This is expected to increase to 50% of organizations over the next two years.

With the number of APIs exploding, security issues are also on the rise. 92% of organizations experienced at least one security incident from insecure APIs in the last year.

Join us in this webinar on API security featuring Melinda Marks, Practice Director, Enterprise Strategy Group, Humair Ahmed, Technical Marketing Director, Cloudflare and Alan Chi, Practice Manager, Optiv, to learn about:
• The importance of API security
• Top API security challenges
• Future API trends and predictions
• Types of API security incidents and their impacts

"Securing modern work across users, devices, applications, networks, and clouds has never been more complicated. In a recent Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Cloudflare, 39% of IT and security respondents admitted that their organizations have lost control over their digital environments due to complexity challenges. 

Lost digital control can have consequences on customer experiences, employee productivity, time to market, risk profile, and more. A new approach is needed to address this critical business challenge and help organizations avoid these pitfalls and restore control. 

In this webinar, guest speaker, Heath Mullins, Senior Analyst at Forrester, will present on the landscape of digital complexity. Attend this session to learn more about: 
Factors that contribute to loss of IT and security control
Business implications as a result of lost control  
How Cloudflare’s connectivity cloud helps manage the chaos"

Regain IT & Security Control: Cloudflare’s Connectivity Cloud Tames Complexity

Over the past year we’ve seen the rise in the use of AI bring about massive productivity and creativity increases, but also an increasing amount of security risk in the form of data exposure. However, AI is here to stay, and businesses and their security teams need to adapt to make sure teams can benefit from its capabilities, while limiting any potential risk. At the same time, in its evolving landscape, more and more developers are starting to integrate AI in business apps without optimizing for cost, performance or security.

Join us in this innovation driven session on AI and security, where we explore:

- The data security risks associated with employees using generative AI and their impact on companies.
- Strategies for balancing the data security risks and benefits of permitting users to employ generative AI safely.
- The tools available to help developers integrate AI into their applications while minimizing the risk of excessive cloud expenses and data exposure.

The threat landscape challenges cybersecurity practitioners everywhere, and preparation is a priority for leaders across the Asia-Pacific region. According to Foundry’s 2022 Security Priorities Study, 53% of APAC enterprises view preparedness in responding to security incidents as their #1 priority.  

A recent Cloudflare survey of more than 4,000 security decision-makers across the region shows that there’s still work to be done; less than half of respondents feel they were highly prepared to prevent security incidents. This despite 76% experiencing a greater number of incidents in the past 12 months. 

This CSO webinar – featuring Fernando Serto, Field Chief Technology Officer APJC of Cloudflare and Deepak Maharaj, Head of InfoSec Architecture, Engineering and PMO at AirAsia – will outline the state of cybersecurity priorities across the region, covering key business challenges while outlining areas of best practice.  

How can cybersecurity leaders address rising threat levels? How can they support business growth and protect their organisations at the same time? What are some key considerations for cybersecurity leaders when developing their 90-day plan?

How Cloudflare helps financial institutions improve visibility into threats

Modern knowledge workers spend the vast majority of their time leveraging cloud-based productivity tools like collaboration suites, email, chat, and now emerging AI tools like ChatGPT. As these SaaS and cloud apps are becoming increasingly essential, they have also increasingly become targets for data exfiltration by threat actors. 

In fact, 82% of breaches today involve data stored in cloud environments. The good news is Gartner says that 99% of cloud breaches are preventable misconfigurations or mistakes by end users. 

In this webinar, we’ll provide tangible use cases to modernize your data protection strategy and reduce your data risk with Cloudflare. Join to this session to learn: 

How CISOs can protect source code and secure opaque AI tools

Many organizations store large, infrequently changing assets - videos, images, or large binary files on cloud provider networks for easy access. While this is more efficient and scalable than on-premises storage, anytime an asset is fetched from the origin server, an egress fee or “egress tax” is incurred. These egress fees can become a significant cost that is usually miscalculated or ignored during budgeting.

Cloudflare’s Cache Reserve helps minimize egress fees by reducing unnecessary origin egress and optimizing cache hit ratios.

Join us as we discuss:
- The limitations of legacy storage solutions
- Why cloud egress fees are a major "hidden charge" for organizations
- How Cloudflare CDN and Cache Reserve can help maximize savings and optimize performance
- A technical walkthrough of these solutions

Cache Reserve: Eliminating the Creeping Costs of Egress Fees

This webinar will explore the environmental impact of each hop in a packet’s journey across the Internet, from end user to application, and break down how organizations can reduce their carbon impact by migrating security and networking functions away from legacy hardware to the cloud.

Cloudflare takes a holistic and transparent approach to sustainability including publishing a yearly Impact Report, where they incorporate actions to contribute to a more sustainable internet. Through the report, Cloudflare showcases their commitment to advancing their mission, making a positive impact on billions of internet users worldwide.

How transitioning to cloudnative architecture improves security & sustainability

Cyber Weekend delivers plenty of holiday cheer for customers and online retailers alike. Last year it delivered record revenues topping $68 billion in the US, and as much as $281 billion worldwide. 

A reliable, fast, and fair user experience is essential for a successful Cyber Weekend. However, many factors can stand in the way. Traffic spikes — a common occurrence in the holiday season where too many users can overwhelm your applications and infrastructure with legitimate traffic — can lead to slow performance or downtime. Add to that malicious automated traffic, from bots like Grinch bots that can hoard inventory, and the impact to your business outcomes is only made worse.

When used together, Cloudflare Bot Management and Waiting Room not only protect your site reliability but also enhance your customers’ shopping experience. Discover how you can safeguard your business from overwhelming traffic spikes and greedy Grinch bots, ensuring a smooth and successful holiday season.

In this webinar, you will learn how Cloudflare:
- Protects your services from sudden traffic spikes to ensure a fast and reliable end-user experience
- Prevents bad bots from hoarding inventory and overwhelming your site
- Can maximise your savings with our limited time offer

Strategies for handling traffic spikes and bot attacks

Cloudflare, along with Google and Amazon AWS, disclosed the existence of a novel zero-day vulnerability dubbed the “HTTP/2 Rapid Reset” attack. This attack exploits a weakness in the HTTP/2 protocol to generate enormous, hyper-volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Cloudflare has mitigated a barrage of these attacks in recent months, including an attack three times larger than any previous attack we’ve observed, which exceeded 201 million requests per second (rps). Since the end of August 2023, Cloudflare has mitigated more than 1,100 other attacks with over 10 million rps — and 184 attacks that were greater than our previous DDoS record of 71 million rps.

Learn about the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset flaw, the ongoing DDoS attack campaign, and best practices to protect your organization with Cloudflare CSO, Grant Bourzikas, and Cloudflare Field CTO, John Engates.
