Let’s celebrate the 8th anniversary of Project Galileo!

In 2014, Cloudflare launched Project Galileo to protect organizations working in vulnerable yet essential areas of human rights and democracy building from cyber attacks. Since then, the project has expanded its scope beyond DDoS protection to fostering collaboration with civil society for more tools and support. As of March 2022, applications to Project Galileo increased by 177% following the war in Ukraine. The anniversary celebrations included new case studies highlighting Galileo participants' work, a portal designed to ease onboarding for participants, and insights into attack patterns using data from Cloudflare Radar. Two new civil society partners, International Media Support and CyberPeace Institute, have joined the project, which now protects over 1,900 organizations in 111 countries.
