AICloudflare is the only vendor named a Visionary in 2026 SASE and SSE reports
Cloudflare has been recognized as the only vendor named a Visionary in both Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant reports for SASE Platforms and Security Service Edge. The company differentiates itself through unified architecture built on a single global network, contrasting with competitors' fragmented, acquisition-based platforms. Cloudflare emphasizes its leadership in emerging security challenges inc
AIPost-quantum authentication to origins is now supported
Cloudflare has achieved a major milestone in post-quantum cryptography by enabling ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) authentication for connections between Cloudflare and customer origin servers through its Authenticated Origin Pulls and Custom Origin Trust Store products. This deployment addresses the growing threat of quantum computers breaking classical credentials for i
AIClaude AI Just Cracked a Post-Quantum Test Scheme and Found a Faster 7-Round AES Attack
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview AI has demonstrated significant cryptographic analysis capabilities by successfully deriving a key-recovery attack against the post-quantum HAWK-256 signature scheme and accelerating attacks on seven-round AES-128 by 200-800x. The HAWK attack leverages previously unexploited lattice symmetries and can execute in approximately 3 hours 42 minutes on a 96-core server
