At Cloudflare, our mission is to help build a better Internet. That mission is ambitious, long-term, and requires constant innovation. But building for the future isn’t just about the technology we create — it’s also about investing in the people who will create it. That’s why today, we are incredibly excited to announce our most ambitious intern program yet: Cloudflare aims to hire as many as 1,111 interns over the course of 2026.

Organizations have finite resources available to combat threats, both by the adversaries of today and those in the not-so-distant future that are armed with quantum computers. In this post, we provide guidance on what to prioritize to best prepare for the future, when quantum computers become powerful enough to break the conventional cryptography that underpins the security of modern computing systems.

Connecting to an application should be as simple as knowing its name. Yet, many security models still force us to rely on brittle, ever-changing IP addresses. And we heard from many of you that managing those ever-changing IP lists was a constant struggle. Today, we’re taking a major step toward making that a relic of the past.

Security teams know all too well the grind of manual investigations and remediation. With the mass adoption of AI and increasingly automated attacks, defenders cannot afford to rely on overly manual, low priority, and complex workflows. Heavily burdensome manual response introduces delays as analysts bounce between consoles and high alert volumes, contributing to alert fatigue. Even worse, it prevents security teams from dedicating time to high-priority threats and strategic, innovative work.
