Case Study: Cybernews strengthens security and scales global readership with Cloudflare

Cybernews caches 80-90% of content with Cloudflare to handle traffic spikes

Cybernews, a cybersecurity news outlet, faced the challenge of protecting its sensitive research data and website from data breaches and automated attacks like DDoS and content scraping. To address this, they partnered with vendor Cloudflare to implement a robust security solution using products like Bot Management and the Zero Trust platform.

The solution from Cloudflare provided a multi-layered defense, filtering malicious traffic and bots before they reached internal systems. This protected sensitive data and ensured site reliability. Furthermore, by caching content and using Cloudflare Workers, Cybernews optimized performance, reducing latency for global readers and enabling them to handle traffic spikes of up to 3 million visitors per day when stories went viral, all while reducing their own infrastructure costs.
