secunet and Cloudflare bring robust cyber resilience to the cloud—while customers retain control

Today secunet and Cloudflare announced their new partnership to design solutions to address the digital sovereignty needs of European customers. These solutions will enable customers’ cloud services to run quickly, stably, and with high availability, while remaining resilient against cyberattacks. This approach is aligned with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) dual strategy of making relevant technology from U.S. providers accessible under strict security and control criteria, while supporting organizations in meeting their sovereignty needs. The solution also envisions giving customers tools for meeting the C3A sovereignty criteria of the BSI depending on their specific use case and need.

The result is a powerful platform that enables customers to enhance their cyber resilience while addressing compliance and sovereignty requirements in Germany and Europe.”
