Cloudflare launched Adaptive Intelligence, a new AI-powered detection engine for its Bot Management platform. The system counters cheap, automated cyberattacks by increasing the cost and difficulty for adversaries.
The engine leverages machine learning and data from trillions of requests across Cloudflare's global network. It continuously analyzes live traffic to identify emerging attack patterns.
The system automatically generates and deploys short-lived, targeted security rules to block threats in real-time. This dynamic defense forces attackers to re-engineer their methods instead of bypassing static security measures.
