Our take on Cloudflare
Cloudflare has transformed from a content delivery network into a comprehensive cloud security platform serving millions of internet properties globally. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest networks spanning 320+ cities in 120+ countries. The company's unique position as a reverse proxy for a significant portion of internet traffic provides massive visibility into global threats and attack patterns.
Cloudflare's security services include DDoS protection (handling some of the largest attacks ever recorded), Web Application Firewall, bot management, API security, and email security. Their Zero Trust platform (Cloudflare One) combines secure web gateway, ZTNA, browser isolation, and CASB capabilities. Cloudflare's network architecture ensures security services run at the edge, close to end users, providing protection without performance penalty. The platform includes advanced features like rate limiting, certificate management, and load balancing.
The company differentiates through its massive scale and edge-based architecture. Cloudflare processes over 55 million HTTP requests per second, blocking millions of attacks daily. Their threat intelligence benefits from this global visibility. Cloudflare has maintained strong net promoter scores and customer growth. However, concerns exist about single points of failure - outages at Cloudflare can impact large portions of the internet. The company has also faced controversy around content moderation policies.
For organizations seeking global DDoS protection, web application security, and zero trust capabilities at internet scale, Cloudflare delivers proven technology. Their performance-oriented architecture suits businesses where security cannot compromise speed. Best fit for companies with internet-facing assets requiring protection against volumetric attacks and organizations implementing zero trust for distributed workforces.

Their highest AgencyCluster Score is 97/100. Rankings are merit-based and determined by evidence across six evaluation pillars — agencies cannot pay for higher positions.
In our evaluation for Cybersecurity Services, Cloudflare scores 97/100 overall.

A high Outcomes score means they have verifiable case studies with measurable results — the most heavily weighted factor in our methodology.
Cloudflare was founded in 2010, giving them over a decade of experience in cybersecurity services. In an industry where many agencies are less than 5 years old, 16+ years of sustained operations signals stability, client retention, and the ability to adapt through multiple technology cycles. Today, the team is enterprise.
Penetration testing engagements cost $10K–$60K depending on scope. Security assessments and compliance readiness range from $20K–$100K. Managed security retainers (continuous monitoring, incident response) run $5K–$30K/month. These are industry benchmarks for cybersecurity services agencies at the level AgencyCluster curates. Actual pricing for Cloudflare will depend on project scope, timeline, and complexity — contact the agency directly for a custom quote.

Unlike self-serve directories, AgencyCluster does not accept automated submissions — every agency is evaluated manually before being published. Our vetting covers identity verification (website, LinkedIn, domain age), business legitimacy (years of operation, team size, registered presence), evidence of work (case studies, portfolio, client outcomes), reputation checks across third-party platforms, activeness and freshness of their online presence, and screening for red flags including misconduct, fraud, or misleading claims. Agencies that fail any critical check are not listed. For Cloudflare, verified signals include a functioning website, LinkedIn company profile, 16+ years of operating history (founded 2010), 5 earned rankings on curated top lists.
