Summary
This post details Cloudflare's commitment to CISA's 'Secure by Design' principles, highlighting how memory-safe languages like Rust are used in critical components like the WAF and HTTP proxy (Pingora), and how Zero Trust principles are applied by default. It also emphasizes the free offering of Universal SSL, unmetered DDoS mitigation, MIGP for credential checking, WAF Managed Rulesets, and post-quantum cryptography, all of which contribute to a more secure internet by default.
