Introducing Spectrum: Extending Cloudflare To 65,533 More Ports
Cloudflare introduces Spectrum, a security solution for its Enterprise customers that extends DDoS protection and acceleration to all TCP ports and protocols. The core functionality of Spectrum is its ability to block large-scale DDoS attacks. It also supports TLS termination at the edge, improving performance by reducing the distance traveled during the TLS handshake. Additionally, it integrates with Cloudflare's IP Firewall for managing access rules. Currently, Spectrum is available only for applications on the Enterprise plan, but there are plans to make it accessible to non-Enterprise customers in the future.
