The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures vendor product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the size of the icons. Cloudflare is positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide DDoS Prevention Solutions 2019 Assessment According to IDC, Cloudflare Strengths are its "unique architecture" and "rapid on-boarding process which is considered one of the easiest and fastest in the industry."

- 12. Over 50% of Respondents Had Been Attacked Between 1-10 Times in the Past Year With Over 60% Attacks Lasting an Average of 0-10 Hours 12© IDC Q. How frequently did your organization experience a DDoS attack in the past year? Q. If you experienced a DDoS attack, on average, how long did the attack last? 🞀 ToCSource: DDoS Prevention Survey, January 2018, IDC Frequency of Attacks Duration of Attacks
- 13. Prominent Types of DDoS Attacks 13© IDC Q. What type of attacks did you experience? 🞀 ToCSource: IDC DDoS Prevention Survey, January 2018, n=140 • TCP exhaustion (focuses on web servers, firewalls, and load balancers to disrupt connections, thus exhausting the finite number of concurrent connections devices can support) • Application layer attacks (also known as Layer 7 attacks, specifically targets weaknesses in an application or server with the goal of establishing a connection and exhausting it by monopolizing processes and transactions) • Multivector attacks (combine volumetric attacks, stateful exhaustion attacks, and application-layer attacks) • DDoS attacks with ransom requests • DDoS attacks as smoke screen
- 14. Multi-vector DDoS Attacks 14 Nearly half of impacted organizations say their DDoS attacks coincided with some form of breach or malicious activity on their networks, including theft and ransomware.

Which type of DDoS mitigation solutions do you use? 🞀 ToC Source: DDoS Prevention Survey, January 2018, IDC n =138 Adoption Trends in DDoS Mitigation Solutions • 47% of organizations are using hybrid deployments to protect against the broadest set of potential attack vector • 23% - 26% of respondents report plans to move to 100% cloud, hosted, and SaaS solutions

- 23. Bot Risk Evolves but Never Disappears 23© IDC ▪ Some types of bots are still used for DDoS attacks..
- 24. ▪ Get the facts. To assess the imminent risk and determine what action to take and, perhaps more importantly, communicate to senior management, you must determine who, what, where, when, and how at a broad level. ▪ Identify, friend or foe. With facts in hand, now you can determine whether your organization is a target, in line for collateral damage, or reasonably unaffected. ▪ Take action. If you haven't planned for an outage or the attack exceeds your capacity, your immediate response options are limited to network reconfiguration or isolation (e.g., pulling the plug). ▪ Spread the (accurate) word. With major outages, communication is key. Remember, there could be all sorts of rumors spreading that can only be addressed with specifics of the organization's plan. ▪ Kick the tires. Even if your organization is not the target, these are excellent real-world scenarios that allow organizations to work through their protection mechanisms as if they are affected. ▪ Watch your back. Perhaps the more insidious opportunity for attackers during big splashy failures like these is to execute targeted attacks undercover, using the event as a distraction. ▪ Be a good neighbor. In today's interconnected world, your technical presence on the internet affects others. Downstream liability due to perceived negligence is a budding concern for many. © IDC 24 The CIOs’ Seven-Step Checklist for Internet Availability Source: IDC #US41895416, Nov2016 DNS DDoS Debacle: The CIO's Seven-Step Checklist for Internet Availability

- 26. Industry Legacy Scrubbing vs. Cloudflare Always-On 26 Industry Legacy Scrubbing - Long propagation times (up to 300 sec) - Asynchronous routing - Adds significant latency - Typically requires manual intervention Always-On - Zero propagation time - Synchronous routing - No added latency - Immediate, automated mitigation, with no “cut over” required
- 27. Cloudflare DDoS Solution 27 Protect Non HTTP Ports Spectrum protects non- HTTP ports open to the Internet with the same distributed architecture Custom Rate Limiting Customers can tune Layer 7 protections to their specific applications and traffic profile through rate limiting rules. Resilient DNS Cloudflare’s resilient DNS protects customers from going down because their DNS is overwhelmed by a volumetric attack. Always On DDoS With automatic heuristics and a distributed Anycast network, Cloudflare’s Always On DDoS detects and mitigates Layer ¾ and Layer 7 attacks at scale.
- 28. Cloudflare DDoS Differentiation 28 Easy Deployment Easy to turn-on protections that mitigate within minutes and remain “always on” without requiring ongoing maintenance or configuration. Integrated Our integration with Bot Management and Firewall Rules gives additional capabilities from a single control plane. Scale As our network continues to grows, so does our capacity and data-driven insight to block attacks automatically.
- 29. Bot Management Use Cases Attempts to log into and take-over a user’s account by automatically applying previously stolen account credentials Steals public information from a website Adds malicious content to web properties such as forums and registration forms Credential Stuffing Content Scraping Content Spam Fraudulently purchases goods to deprive legitimate customers or resell for a higher price Inventory Hoarding Credit Card Stuffing Tries to validate stolen credit cards to then make fraudulent purchases 29
- 30. Cloudflare Bot Management One-Click Deployment ● With a single click, deploy rules with Cloudflare recommended bot score thresholds ● No instrumentation with third-party JavaScript required Control and Configurability ● Scope rules by path or URI pattern, request method, and bot score thresholds ● Select mitigation methods, such as log, CAPTCHA, or block Rich Analytics and Logs ● Time-series graphs with drill-down tables ● Logs bot management rule, action, and rich request meta-data for every request Detect and mitigate bad bots by leveraging intelligence from over 13 million Internet properties. All with one click.
- 31. Cloudflare Bot Management Methods Machine Learning Cloudflare’s ML trains on a curated subset of more than 475 billion requests per day across 13M+ Internet properties to create a reliable “bot score” for every request. Behavioral Analysis Behavioral analysis detects anomalies in site-specific traffic, scoring every request on how different it is from the baseline. Automatic Whitelist Because not all bots are bad, the solution automatically maintains and updates a white list of "good" bots, such as those belonging to search engines. Mobile SDK The mobile SDK prevents attacks against mobile application APIs by impersonation and emulation bots. 31 Detection Protection
- 32. Cloudflare Bot Management Differentiation 32 Integrated Complete not Complex Cloudflare Bot Management is best-in-class both as a stand-alone solution and as integrated with WAF and DDoS protection: ● Streamlines deployment by integrating with a CDN and smart routing for origin traffic. ● Shares control plane through UI and API with WAF and Firewall Rules for better consistency and lower context switching ● Gives a holistic view through common analytics and logs Deploys a bot management solution against a full range of bot attacks with a single click: ● Deploys protections against content/price scraping, credential and credit card stuffing, content spam, and inventory hoarding -- all in one click. ● Fingerprints all traffic without requiring Javascript injection ● Suggested rules work out-of-the box. No fiddling and endless configuration required to get solid results Smart Data Cloudflare Bot Management leverages the trillions of requests per day processed from protecting 13M+ Internet properties: ● Machine learning trains on data curated from 475B requests per day and analyzed on a state-of-the-art GPU cluster ● Our data set contains traffic from over 150 countries ● Learnings from one website are immediately applied to the whole network
