Case Study: TownNews.com enhances security and lowers costs with Cloudflare Magic Transit

TownNews cuts DDoS response time by 45 minutes with Cloudflare

TownNews, a provider of digital solutions for media companies, faced costly and complex DDoS protection from their previous vendor, which was slow to activate and unreliable. Their challenge was to secure their on-premises infrastructure against attacks without exorbitant fees and operational hassle. Cloudflare offered its Magic Transit service for on-prem DDoS protection.

By implementing Cloudflare Magic Transit, TownNews gained a flexible, API-controlled solution with predictable flat-rate pricing and no activation fees. This allowed them to mitigate attacks quickly without costly infrastructure investments. Additionally, using the Cloudflare CDN helped them manage massive traffic spikes, saving an estimated $15,000 monthly in potential hardware costs while ensuring performance for their customers.
