Everything you might have missed during Security Week 2023

"Below is an article originally written by Reid Tatoris.Go to Cloudflare's company page on PowerToFly to see their open positions and learn more."

Security Week 2023 is officially in the books. In our welcome post last Saturday, I talked about Cloudflare’s years-long evolution from protecting websites, to protecting applications, to protecting people. Our goal this week was to help our customers solve a broader range of problems, reduce external points of vulnerability, and make their jobs easier.

We announced 34 new tools and integrations that will do just that. Combined, these announcement will help you do five key things faster and easier:

Making it easier to deploy and manage Zero Trust everywhere
Reducing the number of third parties customers must use
Leverage machine learning to let humans focus on critical thinking
Opening up more proprietary Cloudflare threat intelligence to our customers
Making it harder for humans to make mistakes

And to help you respond to the most current attacks in real time, we reported on how we’re seeing scammers use the Silicon Valley Bank news to phish new victims, and what you can do to protect yourself.

In case you missed any of the announcements, take a look at the summary and navigation guide below.
