News Summary:

On September 11, 2026, Cloudflare reported that its Q2 2026 revenue increased by 36% to $696 million, achieving a $101 billion market capitalization despite 13.8% non-GAAP operating margins, signaling aggressive growth expectations. The company had previously disclosed in June 2026 that 57.5% of its web traffic originated from bots, surpassing human visitors for the first time in internet history. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince outlined a vision to monetize machine traffic through micropayments, proposing a shift from blocking bots to charging them for access to an "agentic internet." Previously, on September 10, 2026, Cloudflare's public DNS resolver 1.1.1.1 began validating DNSSEC signatures produced with ML-DSA-44. This post-quantum signature algorithm, standardized by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology, marks an early move to prepare the Domain Name System for a future where current signature algorithms could be compromised. That same day, CEO Matthew Prince, whose company handles over 10% of global internet traffic, offered insights into the internet's evolving business models, particularly concerning bot traffic and the advertising-funded internet.

Cloudflare lets sites block AI training but keep search

Cloudflare has launched a new setting called Disallow AI Training for website owners. It lets sites remain indexed for search while preventing their content from being used to train AI models. The change addresses a growing problem caused by mixed-use crawlers, which collect material for both search indexing and AI training through a single bot.

Future-proofing cybersecurity means moving from reactive defence to business resilience: Security leaders

A future-ready security organisation cannot define success by how effectively it responds after an incident. It has to become better at recognising emerging risk before disruption occurs, preserving when controls fail and adapting as technologies such as AI change both enterprise operations and the threat landscape.

Give every teammate and agent the right level of access to your Workers

As more teams — and now agents — build applications on Cloudflare's Developer Platform, having the right access controls is crucial to allow you to ship safely. After all, the last thing you want is for an agent to make a change in production, just because it was granted more access than it needs.

Can I still benefit from AI search without letting bots destroy my server?

If you want your site to appear in AI search, allowing crawlers can seem like the obvious choice. But if automated traffic consumes too many server resources, blocking it seems just as reasonable. The problem is treating those two options as mutually exclusive.
