Problems we solve
Being “behind Cloudflare” is not the same as being protected
Cloudflare can reduce risk and improve performance — but only when DNS, WAF, cache, rate limiting, bot rules and origin protection are configured together for your business.
“We’re behind Cloudflare, but are we actually protected?”
Sitting behind Cloudflare is not the same as being configured for your threats. DNS, WAF, cache, rate limiting, bot rules and origin protection have to work together.
Bots are distorting analytics and abusing forms
Bots scrape prices, abuse login and signup forms, create fake accounts and inflate traffic — quietly corrupting the data you make decisions on.
A badly tuned WAF blocks real customers
Over-aggressive rules break checkout, payment callbacks and APIs. A well-tuned WAF protects critical paths without losing sales.
Origin IP is exposed
If attackers can find your origin server, they can bypass Cloudflare entirely. Origin protection is one of the most overlooked fundamentals.
Peak traffic and attacks arrive together
Black Friday, drops and launches attract both customers and attackers. Without a readiness plan, you improvise during the worst possible moment.
AI crawlers are taking your content
AI crawlers scrape catalogues and articles at scale. You need visibility and a deliberate allow/block policy — without losing real search traffic.

Practical examples
What an engagement can look like
Illustrative scenarios based on common situations — not client case studies or testimonials.
Store hit by checkout spam
A store sees a spike of fake orders and bogus accounts. We add Turnstile to signup and checkout, rate-limit the order endpoint and tune bot rules — cutting spam while real conversions keep flowing.
SaaS API under credential stuffing
A SaaS login API is hammered by credential stuffing. We apply rate limiting, a managed challenge for suspicious sources and WAF rules on the auth path, then watch logs to avoid blocking real users and integrations.
Publisher scraped by AI crawlers
A content site notices aggressive AI-crawler traffic. We map who is crawling, set a deliberate allow/block policy and a robots.txt strategy that protects premium content while keeping search visibility.
