What you'll learn

In an increasingly security conscious world, people are always looking for shortcuts to enhance the security profile of their websites whilst keeping cost and effort to a minimum. For new web assets, and particularly for old, this can be a high-friction and often costly process to get right. Cloudflare provides a free service that routes traffic to existing websites through their infrastructure. They've rapidly emerged in recent years to become a large player in the online world, with 5% of the globe's traffic now dependent on Cloudflare. By encapsulating a website within their service, they're able to provide services ranging from SSL-enabling sites to implementing firewall rules and security controls, all without touching the existing site. In this course, we'll look at Cloudflare's free service, which can be set up in minutes. Whether you're just trying to get SSL on your site or want to take advantage of the more advanced security features Cloudflare offers, this course is a great way to increase security in the fastest, cheapest way possible.
