Case Study: Flo achieves stronger privacy, security, and global app performance with Cloudflare

Flo boosts API performance 20% and blocks phishing spikes with Cloudflare

Flo, the developer of a leading female health app, faced the challenge of protecting vast amounts of sensitive user health data against sophisticated cyber threats, including a surge in AI-powered phishing, while needing to meet stringent global compliance regulations like GDPR. To address these security and privacy challenges, the company turned to vendor Cloudflare for its suite of products including Email Security, Zero Trust, and Web Application Firewall.

Cloudflare implemented a comprehensive solution. Its email security effectively managed the increased volume of sophisticated phishing attacks, noting a 20% jump in threats after GPT-4's release. Zero Trust services secured employee access, while the WAF and rate limiting protected web applications. Critically, Cloudflare Relay enabled an "Anonymous Mode" by proxying traffic, ensuring user data cannot be linked to identity, which helped Flo earn privacy awards and certifications. Additionally, Cloudflare's Argo Smart Routing accelerated API traffic by 20% on average, ensuring high performance for its global user base.
