Cloudflare Automates Security with AI, Phases Out Third-Party Tools Cloudflare has transitioned away from third-party security tools, replacing them with over 200 internally developed AI agents. The company has also automated its bug bounty triage process using Anthropic's Claude Sonnet for a cost-effective $58 per month, compared to $200,000 for the more advanced Mythos model. This shift was confirmed by Cloudflare's Chief Security Officer, Grant Bourzikas, during a press event in Sydney. He emphasized the importance of matching the right AI model to specific tasks, noting that their unique security challenges justify their in-house development approach. Cloudflare's strategy reflects a broader trend in the cybersecurity industry, where AI is expected to change vendor-client relationships. The company recently laid off 1,100 employees, attributing this to increased automation capabilities. Bourzikas highlighted a skills gap, indicating that even some experienced IT professionals may lack the necessary skills for Cloudflare's evolving needs. 2 sources 25
