Case Study: State of Oklahoma OMES strengthens statewide security and mitigates DDoS attacks with Cloudflare

State of Oklahoma OMES secures 180 state agencies in 4 hours with Cloudflare

The State of Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES), the backbone for nearly 180 state agencies, faced the challenge of securing and unifying a disparate mix of legacy and modern systems under frequent DDoS attacks. They sought a strategic partner, Cloudflare, to provide whole-of-state security, seamlessly integrate with existing tools, and reduce costs.

By implementing Cloudflare's DNS management, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and Bot Management, the state mitigated major DDoS attacks within days. Cloudflare provided a foundational security platform that protects legacy applications and streamlines operations for all agencies. This partnership enabled OMES to cut costs, improve service quality universally, and strengthen both local and national security postures through shared, robust tooling.
