Defend against frontier cyber models: Cloudflare's architecture as customer zero

Cloudflare describes how advanced AI "frontier" models speed discovery, exploitation, and adaptation of attacks, and presents a defense-in-depth architecture built from Cloudflare products (WAF with ML-based WAF Attack Score, API Shield, Bot Management, Zero Trust/Require Access Protection, IdP federation, MCP Server Portal, and AI Gateway) to limit attacker reach. The post emphasizes proactive detection (ML scoring before CVEs are public), rapid managed-rule deployment, continuous red-team testing, and layered controls to contain exploitation and reduce blast radius.
