Cloudflare

From across APAC to San Francisco, an evening to connect beyond the conference. 🧡 Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Howard SF for the Cloudflare Connect 2026 APAC Reception! After a full day of keynotes and breakout sessions, it was a pleasure to unwind with our customers, partners and APAC leadership team, reconnecting with familiar faces and making new connections. With so much to explore, from the agentic future to the evolving landscape of security and connectivity, the reception was a chance to continue the conversations in a more relaxed setting. A big thank you to our Cloudflare leaders and everyone behind the scenes who helped bring the evening together. Let’s keep the conversations going. #Cloudflare #CloudflareConnect #APAC

That’s a wrap on day two of #CloudflareConnect, and wow there’s a lot to unpack! Agents are already browsing, buying, booking, and building for us, and they don’t sleep, don’t click, and definitely don’t fill out CAPTCHAs. Day two of Cloudflare Connect put that new kind of Internet user front and center. Matthew Prince, Stephanie Cohen, and Grant Bourzikas joined product leaders, customers, and partners on stage to show how Cloudflare is building and securing for the agentic Internet, with some major product announcements too. The afternoon zoomed out. Dr. Fei-Fei Li and Mark Papermaster sat with Stephanie Cohen to talk about how data and silicon got AI to where it is today, and the work humans still have to do, so that its benefits reach beyond productivity to shared prosperity. To our speakers, customers, partners, and attendees: thank you for making it a day to remember. 🧡 Jorn Lambert, Kevin Harwood, Aparna Subramanian, Steve Tannock, Dr. Alexandra Heidel, Rajagopal Subramaniyan, Bill Gross, Sam Rhea, Rita Kozlov, Matthew Conroy, Wesley Evans, and Evan You.

Two events, one busy day for Cloudflare in Sydney! 🚀 We’re also sponsoring today’s DevOps Summit NSW at ICC Sydney, where Michael Snowden will moderate a roundtable with engineering and technology leaders. Our focus: helping developers build, deploy and operate applications and AI agents with less infrastructure overhead. Cloudflare’s Developer Platform brings together serverless compute with Workers, storage, AI inference and tools for building stateful agents on our global network. Our latest Birthday Week announcements extend those capabilities further: 🔹 Cloudflare K2: durable, ordered serverless event streams without managing broker clusters. 🔹 AI Search, now generally available: bringing search across application data, including visual content and scanned documents. 🔹 Expanded observability and Cloudflare Traces: helping teams investigate production behaviour and follow requests across the platform. For engineering teams, these capabilities connect the work of shipping new applications with the practical demands of running them reliably. If you’re at the summit today, come meet the Cloudflare team and join the conversation with Michael! Explore the latest announcements: https://lnkd.in/g-vcgMu5

AI agents are changing how customers discover, compare and transact with financial services. How can financial institutions prepare for that shift while protecting trust? Today, Cloudflare is at the FUTR of Financial Services Sydney Summit, joining leaders across banking, insurance, payments and fintech. At 3:30pm, Craig James, Cloudflare Head of Value Advisory, APAC, will present “Know Your Agent: Trust, Money and Machines in Australia’s Next Financial System”. The session will explore how to distinguish trusted agents from malicious automation, protect identities and transactions, and modernise the infrastructure supporting these interactions. These challenges sit at the heart of Cloudflare’s work with banking and financial services organisations: securing applications and APIs, strengthening operational resilience, and enabling digital innovation while supporting regulatory and data sovereignty requirements. If you’re attending, come meet the team and join Craig’s session! Explore Cloudflare for Banking and Financial Services: https://lnkd.in/grea2HRs

Following the discovery that eight eMudhra intermediate certificates use weak keys, Cloudflare is deploying mitigations and releasing client updates. We explain the impact, our response, and what customers and developers should do next. https://cfl.re/4dRC0Lk

We’re excited to be working with Mastercard and an ecosystem of partners to help build the infrastructure for agent-to-agent commerce. Mastercard Agent Pay for Machines is designed to help AI agents pay for digital services while operating within approved budgets and permissions. Following end-to-end pilots, Mastercard is now opening Early Access to developers. See how it works: https://cfl.re/4sohRTe

Day 1 of Cloudflare Connect San Francisco is in the books. From the keynote stage to the hallway conversations, it was a full day of builders, security leaders, and customers swapping ideas on what’s next for the Internet. Two more days to go, and we’re just getting started. More sessions, more announcements, and more conversations ahead. Follow along here all week. #CloudflareConnect

Pitching your company can be nerve-racking in any room; now picture doing it in front of members of Cloudflare’s executive team and a full crowd. That’s what these startup founders experienced at Moscone West on day one of #CloudflareConnect. 💥 This year, we introduced The Cold Start, a live startup pitch competition built to put early-stage founders on the Connect stage. Each startup had ten minutes to explain what they’re building and why it matters, and every one of them made the room lean in a bit more. Congratulations to the winners, Haelo, chosen by our judges, and to Polylane, chosen by our audience. And thank you to the runners-up, from a company that knows what it’s like to be the runner-up in a startup competition: Lane, supermemory, and Parakeet Risk, on a remarkable showing. A special thank you to every founder who took the stage: Jack Clark, Aiden Cohen, Alexander Eden Robert, Geoffrey Taunton-Collins, Dhravya Shah, Jowanza Joseph, and Boris Tane.

That's a wrap on Cyber Security & Cloud Expo Amsterdam 🇳🇱 The highlight?
