Case Study: Outdoorsy improves security and speeds internal access with Cloudflare

Outdoorsy speeds internal access 25% to 50% with Cloudflare

Outdoorsy, an online RV rental marketplace, faced significant challenges with security and data scraping from competitors and bad actors. Their self-hosted resources lacked a strong security posture, creating a high risk of a data breach. The company needed a robust security solution that wouldn't create friction for legitimate users or add infrastructure complexity, as they are a fully digital-native company without on-premise servers. They turned to Cloudflare for its Bot Management and WAF protection.

By implementing Cloudflare's security solutions, including Bot Management, WAF, and Zero Trust, Outdoorsy secured its platform and internal resources. Cloudflare eliminated the scraping problem and provided a secure way for its global team to access internal tools without a traditional VPN. This resulted in a major efficiency gain: the engineering team now spends less than half the time configuring security rules despite having quadrupled in size. Furthermore, Cloudflare Zero Trust made granting access to new team members and contractors at least 25 to 50% faster, streamlining onboarding and improving productivity.
