Case Study: Handelsblatt Media Group strengthens security and accelerates cloud migration with Cloudflare

Handelsblatt Media Group stops attacks and streamlines cloud migration with Cloudflare in zero downtime

Handelsblatt Media Group, a leading German media house, faced frequent and debilitating online attacks that incapacitated their origin servers and threatened reader trust. They sought a provider like Cloudflare to mitigate these attacks and improve performance and operational efficiency, ultimately selecting Cloudflare's security solutions including its Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection.

Cloudflare implemented its WAF and DDoS protection, which immediately stopped the attacks and resolved the site's reliability issues. The solution provided strategic flexibility, acting as an independent control point for managing multiple clouds and on-premise infrastructure. Cloudflare's API support enabled infrastructure-as-code and accelerated their development pipeline. As a result, Handelsblatt Media Group achieved greater security, performance, and operational efficiency, with Cloudflare's Argo Smart Routing dramatically accelerating site performance.
