Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the de facto routing protocol of the Internet. It offers built-in mechanisms to allow entities, represented by Autonomous Systems (ASes), to express how they want to send and receive traffic on the Internet. One such mechanism is path attributes, which carry essential routing information and metadata for their associated route.

Cloudflare has deployed new Web Application Firewall (WAF) protections for two critical vulnerabilities affecting WordPress. The protections address an Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in WordPress's REST API and a related SQL Injection vulnerability. The WordPress security team disclosed the vulnerabilities to Cloudflare before public release so that we could prepare protections for customers.

On July 3, 2026, the Albanian communications authority (AKEP), the operator of the.AL country-code top-level domain (TLD) of Albania, attempted a DNSSEC key rollover. Something went wrong, resulting in DNSSEC validation failures. Any validating DNS resolver receiving these signatures was required by the DNSSEC specification to reject them and return errors to clients. That includes 1.1.1.1, the public DNS resolver operated by Cloudflare.

Bot mitigation is an adversarial game: attackers adapt, defenders respond, and the cycle continues. At Cloudflare, we stay ahead by combining visibility across our global network with signals from the client-side environment. At the network level, we analyze over 1 trillion requests per day to understand reputation, patterns, and anomalies across more than 20% of the web.

RSA and ECC, cryptographic algorithms that we’ve all relied on for decades, are vulnerable to the attack of sufficiently advanced quantum computers. Such quantum computers do not exist yet, but they seem to be coming sooner than expected. Luckily, the solution is already available: migrate to ML-KEM encryption and ML-DSA signatures, which are designed to be resistant to quantum attack. They were standardized in 2024 by the U.S.

On June 22, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14409, "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks." The order sets a December 31, 2030, deadline for federal agencies to transition their most sensitive systems to post-quantum encryption, and a December 31, 2031, deadline for post-quantum authentication. The EO also directs federal contractors to comply with post-quantum Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) by the end of 2030.

Adopting or migrating to a Zero Trust network architecture can be a daunting task. Before a single policy changes, teams have to recall how their network is actually built: which applications exist, their authentication and authorization constructs, how traffic flows between them, and any assumptions the current architecture makes. This hands-on process requires practitioners to decode the intent behind every security and routing policy in place.

2026 is the year agent harnesses go to production. The software that controls the model’s access to the outside world — harnesses like Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and Project Think — has matured to the point where teams are deploying agents as real, load-bearing infrastructure, not just prototypes. But building agents that survive production is hard.

How does your computer actually find data? JQ Lau from Cloudflare's hardware team explains the difference between CPU cache and memory with a simple analogy — and why it matters when you're designing servers for millions of requests.

In this episode of This Week in NET, JQ Lau and Victor Hwang from our Network & Infrastructure Strategy team walk us through Cloudflare's 13th generation of servers — the machines that power a significant part of the internet across 330+ cities worldwide. The Gen 13 program doubled compute density by jumping from 96 to 192 cores, but that came with an 83% drop in L3 cache. The team explains how a bold hardware bet, combined with Cloudflare's FL2 Rust-based software rewrite, turned that trade-off into a win across throughput, latency, and power efficiency.

The conversation explores why the Internet and the cloud were not designed for an AI-agent world, and what infrastructure needs to change as software agents begin generating code, running workflows, and interacting directly with online services. Ming and Anni walk through several announcements from Cloudflare’s Agents Week, including new tools for agent infrastructure, memory, developer workflows, AI Gateway, email, artifacts, browser automation, security, and agent-ready websites.

What happens to Internet security when quantum computers become powerful enough to break today’s encryption? In this clip from a full conversation on This Week in NET, Sharon Goldberg explains why researchers and companies are preparing for post-quantum cryptography, what could be at risk if current encryption is broken, and why the timeline may be closer than many expected. This clip is from the This Week in NET podcast about the future of encryption, quantum computing, and post-quantum cryptography.

In this World Quantum Day special edition of This Week in NET, host João Tomé is joined by Bas Westerbaan (Principal Research Engineer) and Sharon Goldberg (Senior Director, Product) to explain why the timeline for post-quantum cryptography may be arriving sooner than expected. Recent research suggests the number of qubits required to break today’s encryption could fall dramatically, accelerating the urgency for companies and the Internet ecosystem to migrate to post-quantum security. Google has set a 2029 migration target, and Cloudflare is working toward a similar timeline.
