Prayna Prasad shared thisLast week we held a coffee shop takeover. ☕️ Builders showed up, laptops open, coffee in hand, and they spent the morning building, not just watching. From deploying AI Agents on Workers AI (Kimi, Llama & more) to spinning up real-time WebSocket apps, building edge GraphQL APIs with D1, and shipping full-stack apps with zero infrastructure, the room was buzzing with code. Shout out to everyone who jumped into the live demos, competed in the build-off, and proved you really can deploy to 300+ cities before your coffee gets cold with Cloudflare. Until next time, keep shipping.🚀 Mick Davies | Michael Snowden | Jade Porter | Tony S. | Elton Chew | James Tan (JT) | Ben Munroe | Felipe Ryan

Prayna Prasad shared thisWE WON! 🥳🍾🥂 Wins like this hit differently when you know what went into them. Seeing Cloudflare named Cloud and Data Security Provider of the Year at the Australian Cyber Awards is a proud moment. Because behind this recognition is a team that sweats the details, challenges each other, and refuses to settle for “good enough.” We work hard because what we do matters. We work hard because our customers and partners trust us with what matters most. And we work hard because we believe we can make a meaningful difference. Grateful for this team! #unstoppable #cyberawards Cyberdaily: The Cybersecurity Daily News

Prayna Prasad shared thisReddit's Zero Trust Wake-Up Call A public breach. 200+ apps. Dozens of AWS accounts. Legacy VPNs held together with "duct tape and hope." Reddit, Inc. just shared their multi-quarter journey from chaos to Zero Trust and it's a masterclass in modern security: ✅ The Catalyst: Sometimes it takes a breach to fix what's been broken for years ✅ The Sell: Better developer experience closed the deal - Faster Docker pulls, no more routing international traffic through a saturated US VPN ✅ The Reality: Multi-quarter effort, broken things along the way, and lessons like "pay down tech debt first" and "test your breakglass before you need it" Key insight? Zero Trust isn't just about security, it's about removing friction for your teams while protecting them.

Prayna Prasad shared thisThe truth? Most people are waiting to be sponsored… but far fewer are choosing to be sponsors. And that’s where the real power lies. You don’t need a C-suite title to change someone’s trajectory. You just need to: • Speak someone’s name in rooms that matter • Back their potential, especially if it’s not obvious to others yet • Create visibility for people who’ve earned it but aren’t seen • Open a door and stand there until they walk through it Pick one person. Just one. – Recommend them for something meaningful – Endorse them publicly (in a meeting, email, or post) – Introduce them to someone in your network – Or advocate for them in a conversation they’re not part of Small actions. Real impact.Prayna Prasad shared thisTalent gets you noticed, but sponsorship moves you forward. 🚀 A mentor gives you advice, but a sponsor uses their influence to open doors. Research shows that women with sponsors are 20% more likely to be promoted. True progress happens when women are championed in the rooms they aren't even in yet. 🎬 Watch the video below to hear more from Prayna Prasad, Senior Field Marketing Manager ANZ and Global Lead of Womenflare APJC, on the power of sponsorship.

Prayna Prasad shared thisI spent Friday night at a Women Leading Tech event alongside some of the incredible women I’m fortunate to work with at Cloudflare . It left me reflecting on a question I was asked recently: “How would you describe the women at Cloudflare in one word?” The answer is simple: tenacious. I see it every day. This isn’t just about delivering against a roadmap, it’s about owning outcomes. It’s the ability to anticipate challenges before they surface, step beyond defined roles, and build solutions that truly scale. What stands out most is that this tenacity isn’t individual, it’s collective. There’s a genuine culture of lifting each other up, of backing one another to go further. To the women of Cloudflare, I’m incredibly proud to work alongside you. You turn “impossible” into “done” every single day. And that’s what tenacity looks like. #WLT #WomenInTech #Unstoppable

Prayna Prasad shared thisAccountability, transparency and the honest truth. Above all, a sincere apology.Prayna Prasad shared thisI won’t mince words: earlier today we failed our customers and the broader Internet when a problem in Cloudflare’s network impacted large amounts of traffic that rely on us. The sites, businesses, and organizations that rely on Cloudflare depend on us being available and I apologize for the impact that we caused. Transparency about what happened matters, and we plan to share a breakdown with more details in a few hours. In short, the root cause of the outage was a configuration file that is automatically generated to manage threat traffic. The file grew beyond an expected size of entries and triggered a crash in the software system that handles traffic for a number of Cloudflare's services. The Cloudflare team was able to diagnose the issue and revert to a previous version of the file which restored services as of 14:30 UTC. There is no evidence of an attack or malicious activity causing the issue. That issue, impact it caused, and time to resolution is unacceptable. Work is already underway to make sure it does not happen again, but I know it caused real pain today. The trust our customers place in us is what we value the most and we are going to do what it takes to earn that back.

Prayna Prasad reacted on thisPrayna Prasad reacted on thisHey Qantas, I’ve got something personal to say to you. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for recognising the value of your First Nations suppliers, and choosing Baidam as your cyber security partner. It’s a huge responsibility and an honour to support such an iconic Australian business. Every Qantas video makes my heart swell with pride at being an Australian. And I’m not alone - I see that same emotion on the faces of our team.

Prayna Prasad reacted on thisPrayna Prasad reacted on this5 years at Cloudflare came to a close this week. During my run, I launched a new category campaign, built new solutions campaigns, and architected pipeline-accelerating programs. But I'm most proud of having led a team of high-achieving campaign marketers. Thank you Mina Moein, Dylan De La Housaye, and Kay Palmer for pushing the limits of what campaigns can be. Building together has truly been a career highlight. None of what we built would have happened without the managers who trusted my vision and kept handing me stretch opportunities along the way: Brooke Leslie, Caitlin Romano, Matthew Mullin. I have endless gratitude for you. I'm closing this chapter on my own terms, proud of what I accomplished, and excited for what's ahead. More to come on my next opportunity soon!

Thank you Tim Heath and the team at Cyber Security Intelligence for bringing our research to a wider audience. Their coverage reinforces a central message from our report: AI is accelerating the pace of attacks and industrialising cybercrime, enabling adversaries to operate with greater scale, speed, and sophistication than ever before. In this new environment, organisations need deeper visibility, stronger data protection, and a truly threat-led approach to build resilience.
