Summary

Cloudflare and Accenture Federal Services (AFS) have been selected by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a joint solution for protecting the federal government against cyberattacks. The solution includes Cloudflare's protective DNS resolver, which will filter DNS queries from offices and locations within the federal government, and stream events directly to Accenture's analysis platform. This collaboration aims to enhance the security and reliability of critical infrastructure across various sectors, including state, local, tribal, and territorial partnerships, as well as the private sector. The solution will be offered by CISA to departments and agencies within the Federal Civilian Executive Branch.
