Cloudflare Spectrum: Cloudflare has been protecting for eight years websites. The company appears to be expanding the anti-DDoS security it provides to websites with more services, such as game security services, services for email servers, as well as for IoT devices (from the Internet of Things).
The new project is called Spectrum and it works more or less the same way Cloudflare's other products work. That is, it acts as a mediator of the movement in the medianetwork through data centers that (properly) distribute traffic globally.
The software Cloudflare Spectrum automatically routes users to the geographically closest data center to deliver better, faster. This way it automatically rejects any malicious traffic or what it thinks is malicious. So it protects against DDoS attacks, ensuring that websites won't go down so easily.
With Cloudflare Spectrum, this protection extends beyond web pages. The new service will work with just about everything you connect to the Internet.
In addition to protecting against DDoS attacks and providing faster connections, Cloudflare says Spectrum will extend the security of some older operating systems and software that don't support encryption at the transportation level. Spectrum will be able to protect such systems without introducing compatibility issues.
In a statement, Cloudflare Managing Director Matthew Prince said:
"Cloudflare has always focused on improving the Internet experience for users around the world, but so far we have only protected and accelerated Web protocols. Spectrum is a huge step towards building a better Internet, as we have the power of Cloudflare in protocols beyond those of the Web. ”
Spectrum will initially be available only to the company's largest customers. For everyone else be patient, or make sure you "grow up."
