Christian Reilly shared thisHad chance to enjoy a few days of vacation (eventually) in beautiful Spain. In these days of AI and content creation, it’s wonderful to be reminded of how those not in technology see the world around us. 🇪🇸

Christian Reilly shared thisThe inconvenient truth: bot detection across the industry often rests on a hopeful assumption that if you make the wall tall enough, attackers stay out. In reality, a determined attack always finds a way through. The question is not whether a determined attacker can get through. They will. The question is what happens when they do.

Christian Reilly shared thisSince April, I’ve engaged with over 100 senior leaders across industries to introduce Cloudflare OS. 99% zero in on the “context” feature. Skills are “what”, context is “how”. Think about it - any work process, the steps you follow, whether you’re in a Procurement, Legal, Technology, Sales or any other function, the process of “what” you do is usually very similar across companies. That’s a skill. What isn’t consistent, or fungible, is “how” you do it. I saw this first hand in my 20 years at Bechtel - for example. The “how” was formed of decades of precise execution, taking into account intellectual property and institutional memory - along with culture. That’s the context. Capturing both of these elements is critical to enabling your true company process in an agentic world. As I’ve said before, I’ve committed a lot of my professional career to using technology to make things better. A vision I’ve had and couldn’t quite get to is now right in front of our eyes. And we are only just getting started. https://os.cloudflare.app Cloudflare

Christian Reilly reposted thisChristian Reilly reposted thisIt's more competitive to get an internship at Cloudflare than it is to get into Harvard. Don't believe me? Out of 1,111 internship positions, Cloudflare received 1M+ applications. That's around a 0.1% acceptance rate. I find that shocking, and I think a lot of other interns also grapple with the same disbelief. In a place like this, it is easy to look around and assume everyone else must be more technical, more prepared, or more naturally suited to the work. That is why something a leader told a few of us recently has stuck with me. We were on a call pitching an idea for the strategic direction of AI Crawl Control, and we made the caveat that none of us were Software Engineers. That’s when they said: "Never undersell your technical skills. You're here for a reason." Being surrounded by people with deep and wide expertise does not mean you know nothing. Our idea was valid, and it addressed the exact kind of hard questions being considered across the company as we rethink the future of the Internet. So if you’re here and sometimes feel wildly underqualified, welcome to the club, and know that you do not need to be the expert in the room to ask the questions that matter.

Christian Reilly shared thisA proud Dad moment today as middle and youngest have both achieved excellent A Level results and have secured their places at their first choice Universiites. As many of you know, Isabella had to do an extra school year as she recovered from an aggressive thyroid cancer which required 12 hours of surgery to remove. The work ethic and commitment from both of them, and the support for each other, left me awestruck and content - as a parent, all you ever want is the best for your kids. Onward - to study for degrees in Primary Education (Bella) and Cybersecurity (Fin) - a special day for us all. ❤️🙌

Christian Reilly shared thisToday, we issued a press release to announce Cloudflare achieved the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) High certification and GovRAMP™ Moderate authorization. These achievements enable Federal, State and Local government, defense, education and highly-regulated organizations to use Cloudflare’s suite of integrated security, performance, AI and developer services to advance their missions and innovate with efficiency. Having gone through FedRAMP in a former life, I understand how much work goes into this and it’s another huge achievement for the amazing Cloudflare team. Props to everyone involved. https://lnkd.in/epsKRfTt Allan LeinwandServing the most critical missions- Cloudflare for Government achieves FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified statusServing the most critical missions- Cloudflare for Government achieves FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified status

Christian Reilly shared this🔥Christian Reilly shared thisCloudflare has open sourced the software its own employees use every day, and buried inside it is an idea that breaks how we have built software for 25 years. The project is Cloudflare OS. Engineering, sales, support, everyone inside Cloudflare uses it to get work done. Here is the part that made me stop. When you ask it for a slide deck, it doesn't open a shared app in the cloud. It builds you your own private copy of a slide deck app, running in its own sandbox. They call these Gadgets. Two things follow from that. Your copy can't leak anyone else's data, because there's no shared server holding everyone's files. And you can change it, so if something is missing you just ask for it. No feature request, no roadmap, no begging a product team to care about your edge case. For 25 years the deal was that one company builds the app, everybody rents it, and you live with whatever they decided to build. That deal only made sense because building software was hard. It isn't hard anymore. The second piece is just as interesting. Their safety layer, Gatekeepers, fixes the most annoying thing about agents today. Right now an agent stops dead and waits for you to click approve, so people switch approvals off, which is how accidents happen. Cloudflare's version lets the agent keep working. It fakes the result, queues the real action, and you approve everything later in one go. Alongside it they released Computer, which gives an agent a real filesystem and a real shell instead of a pretend one. Both are free, both are on GitHub, and both are early and rough. But the direction is hard to unsee. Software you rent is slowly turning into software you own and edit. End of SaaS, or a nice idea that won't scale? #Cloudflare #OpenSource #SaaS #AIAgents #DevTools

Christian Reilly liked thisChristian Reilly liked thisI’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve joined OpenAI as part of the GTM team, supporting Education across EMEA 🚀 My journey through AWS, Cloudflare and Google has given me a front-row seat to some extraordinary shifts in technology. But AI feels different - not simply another wave of innovation, but a fundamental change in how we work, create, learn and solve problems. To be joining the team helping shape what comes next feels like both an enormous privilege and a meaningful responsibility. Only a few days in, the pace is remarkable, the ambition is palpable and the calibre of the people is genuinely exceptional. Most striking of all is the shared belief in a mission that truly matters: ensuring AGI benefits all of humanity. Let’s go! ✨

Christian Reilly liked thisAlmost two decades ago now a handful of the folks behind "cloud computing" teamed up to loan money to fellow entrepreneurs in developing countries. So far we've loaned $216,790 across 8,128 loans — 6,337 (78%) of them being to women:Christian Reilly liked thisSixteen (!!) years ago, I joined up with James Urquhart and Sam Johnston to start a Kiva group to make high impact micro loans to entrepreneurs in developing areas. Many of us have continued to make loans, and our group recently crossed EIGHT THOUSAND loans, 78% of which have gone to women-owned businesses. Join us! https://lnkd.in/gkAYJrcM

Christian Reilly liked thisChristian Reilly liked thisReturning from Terceira Island—my personal slice of paradise in the Azores—always brings a distinct shift in pace. Stepping off volcanic trails and out of the Atlantic air back into high-performance work requires the right ecosystem, and for me, that engine is Cloudflare OS. Fueling the Return to High Performance: * Seamless Transition: Unwinding in Terceira resets my focus; Cloudflare OS ensures I drop right back into deep work without friction, security bottlenecks, or latency. * Speed & Reliability: Just as the island’s raw nature forces you to be grounded, Cloudflare OS strips away the digital noise, optimizing my workflows and pushing my daily output to its peak. * Securing the Flow: Managing complex tasks requires absolute peace of mind. Having enterprise-grade security running silently in the background lets me focus entirely on high-impact results. Paradise resets the mind, but the right tech stack maintains the momentum. Back, recharged, and executing at scale. 🚀 #cloudflare #agenticera #cloudflareOS #betterinternet #aiperformance

Christian Reilly liked thisChristian Reilly liked thisSeptember 2026 is going to be really busy. But one event is standing out and I'm really, really excited for it! On September 24 2026, I will host a dedicated and hands-on Agentic Security Workshop day at our Cloudflare offices in Munich. Our own Chief Security Officer Grant Bourzikas will provide direct insights into our learnings of being part of #Glasswing and #Daybreak and how we are leveraging AI Frontier Lab models as well as self hosted open weight models within our own Security teams. And then, we will build! We will run labs where we'll give the attendees the tools and the environment to actually build Agentic Security Harnesses for Vulnerability Management as well as Security Incident Response Triage (SIRT). We're doing this to give the tools and provide the knowledge to all the defenders and leaders out there, to protect their systems and assets against the increasing threat that is AI-powered cyber attacks. If you want to be part of this workshop (and space is limited), send me a DM and I will follow up.
