Cloudflare is best known for its content delivery network and DDoS mitigation services, but it has been steadily expanding into other areas of web security over the past few years.
This week, the company made three product announcements, all aimed at protecting its customers from online threats, including new offerings for API security, web applications, and email.
In 2020, Cloudflare said that its network was touching more than 25 million websites. It sees a lot of traffic, and, as a content delivery network, is extremely motivated to stop bad traffic before it clogs up its pipes.
The company’s basic services are free, which has propelled it into the lead. Datanyze and Enlyft put its CDN market share at 32% and 39%, respectively.
