Cloudflare commits to help build sustainable, accessible Internet in Impact Report

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 21 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has published its second annual Impact Report showcasing its commitment to helping build an Internet that is principled, accessible for everyone, and sustainable. 

Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive officer Matthew Prince said in a statement that the American company has built a team of employees dedicated to providing a real, positive impact for the millions of users of its services and the billions of Internet users its decisions affect.

“In 2022, the company has jumped into action to help protect people in Ukraine, secure a fair and trusted midterm election so that cyber security was not a headline, and contribute to the development of privacy-enhancing protocols that will ripple far beyond our customers.

“Whatever next year brings, we will be ready to continue ensuring the Internet is accessible, safe, and reliable for all,” Prince added.

Highlights of the 2022 Cloudflare Impact Report include assistance to Ukraine; giving back to the Internet; democratising access to Zero Trust; engineering privacy into the Internet; securing small businesses and Cloudfare services to yield significant emissions savings.

This year, Cloudflare pioneered the implementation of numerous technologies designed to ensure Internet service providers and other network observers cannot track websites their subscribers visit, through its engineering privacy.

As for the aspect for securing small businesses, the company has identified millions of free accounts responsible for roughly 70 trillion requests over the Cloudflare network in 2022, which is a value of US$7 million of content delivery network services that they received at no cost, as of December 2022.

Began publicly reporting information about its environmental, social, and governance impacts in 2021, this year, the company focused on expanding the value and scope of Cloudflare’s Impact programmes; and supporting humanitarian and human rights causes, among others.
