Cloudflare is bolstering its suite of web infrastructure and security offerings with a free WAF (web application firewall) managed ruleset service, a new API management gateway, and — once it closes its recently announced acquisition of Area 1 Security — a set of email tools designed to thwart phishing and malware attacks.
Cloudflare announced at the end of February that it would pay $162 million to acquire Area 1, which has developed a cloud-native security platform designed to use machine learning to detect and block phishing and malware attacks. The deal is expected to close at the beginning of the second quarter.
