CLOUDFLARE POSITIONED AS A LEADER IN THE GARTNER® MAGIC QUADRANT™ FOR WEB
APPLICATION AND API PROTECTION


CLOUDFLARE PLACED IN THE LEADERS QUADRANT FOR ITS ABILITY TO EXECUTE AND
COMPLETENESS OF VISION

San Francisco, CA, September 6, 2022 — Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the
security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better
Internet, today announced it has been named by Gartner® as a Leader in the Magic
Quadrant™ for Web Application and API Protection (WAAP). This is the first year
Cloudflare has been placed in the Leaders quadrant.

“More than half of traffic across Cloudflare's network is for APIs. That's why
we've invested heavily in building the best platform for protecting APIs and
application web traffic,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare.
“We're proud to be recognized as a Leader in this space by Gartner and that more
and more enterprises choose Cloudflare to fully protect their networks from the
most sophisticated attacks.”

Cloudflare was recognized among 11 vendors for its ability to execute and
completeness of vision. In the past year, Cloudflare has expanded its WAF’s
threat intelligence capabilities, added machine learning WAF detection, unveiled
an API Gateway, delivered client-side protections against 3rd party JavaScript
attacks, and bolstered its Bot Management protections while reducing the need
for CAPTCHAs.

and API Protection is available here. Visit our blog for more details, and learn
