The internet is a dangerous place, which is why Cloudflare operates with the mission of “Building a Better Internet.” For companies of all sizes and across all industries, it’s not a question of if an attack occurs, it’s a question of when. Companies that rely on revenue from e-commerce can find themselves completely debilitated. That’s why more and more businesses are turning to Cloudflare.
But for some, having Cloudflare isn’t enough. A Cloudflare environment still needs to be managed, monitored, and configured to best practices, and without the time or the talent to implement these things, the environment is at an increased risk of a successful cyberattack and downtime. For companies that don’t have a team that can fully manage their Cloudflare environments, Cloudflare managed services offer the tools IT leaders need to protect their environments.
Align with Best Practices
By turning to a Cloudflare managed services provider, businesses know that they have access to the latest solutions and strategies. Cloudflare partners have access to extensive resources and training. They use this knowledge to keep your environment up-to-date and aligned with best practices. A team of Cloudflare certified solutions architects analyses your current deployment, keeping in mind your current environment and configurations while taking possible growth in mind. The team finds areas for improvements and backs up the configuration to ensure data recovery in case of disaster. By knowing the latest trends in Cloudflare and in cyberattacks, managed service providers ensure security and continuity.
24x7x365 Monitoring
For companies working with a limited team or limited resources, having a service monitor your Cloudflare environment 24x7x365 can be a game changer. With 24×7 monitoring, teams have early warning for cyberattacks, so mitigation can begin as soon as possible, improving outcomes. Clients have 24/7 phone and email support as well, providing peace of mind and ensuring that anomalies are taken care of as soon as possible. Cloudflare Managed Service providers also provide regular reporting—weekly, monthly, and quarterly—to ensure everyone is on the same page and to identify opportunities for improvement.
Attack Mitigation
Having managed Cloudflare services can help detect attacks early and counter them in real time, ensuring continuity. For overworked cybersecurity teams, keeping daily operations going can be more than enough. So when a cyberattack occurs, responses can be delayed and operations can suffer—not just from the attack, but from the attention diverted elsewhere. A Cloudflare managed service provider delivers attack analysis and mitigation in addition to custom rules to mitigate active attacks.
