What happened
Cloudflare is expanding its services to target the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) market in Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ). The company noted that security has often been viewed as separate from networking, a gap that is particularly pronounced regarding AI security. Cloudflare stated that managed services focused on the convergence of network and security offerings are highly relevant for the SME sector in this region.
