Case Study: KUKA achieves faster, more secure websites and saves staff hours with Cloudflare

KUKA deploys Cloudflare to improve web performance and security for corporate web properties

KUKA, a 120‑plus‑year‑old global automation company headquartered in Augsburg, Germany, faced frequent application‑layer attacks that degraded its corporate website performance, hurt customer experience, and forced IT teams into time‑consuming manual incident response—costing leads and marketing effectiveness.

By deploying Cloudflare WAF and Argo Smart Routing, KUKA gained automated threat detection, blocking attacks before they reached servers and a dashboard that eliminated much of the manual log analysis. The change saved over a dozen hours per week in incident handling, reduced manual interventions to roughly twice a month, surfaced previously invisible low‑level attacks, and improved performance—time‑to‑first‑byte up to 25% faster (11.5% on average) and 45% better response‑time consistency—enhancing overall customer experience.
