Cloudflare is an American web infrastructure and website security company that provides content delivery network and DDoS mitigation services. Cloudflare’s services sit between a website’s visitor and the Cloudflare customer’s hosting provider, acting as a reverse proxy for websites.
Founded in 2014, Project Galileo is Cloudflare’s response to cyber-attacks launched against important yet vulnerable targets, like artistic groups, humanitarian organizations, and the voices of political dissent.
Cloudflare provides robust security to enterprises that are the targets of DDoS and other cyber-attacks. Cloudflare’s Project Galileo has made that same security available for at-risk public interest websites at no cost.
