- 7Cloudflare Blog·8/5/2026researchCloudflare named a Visionary in 2026 SASE and SSE reports
Cloudflare says it is the only vendor recognized as a Visionary in both Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms and Security Service Edge. The company frames the recognition as validation of Cloudflare One and highlights its approach to unified connectivity, AI-agent governance, and post-quantum encryption.
- 5Simon Willison·7/29/2026researchMatthew Green on AI-Powered Cryptanalysis
Matthew Green argues that the current shift from RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography to post-quantum algorithms is an ideal moment for new AI-driven cryptanalysis capabilities. He suggests such work could either strengthen confidence in cryptographic assumptions or, if AI advances far enough, undermine some hard problems altogether.

Microsoft, Google and Cloudflare say organizations should prepare to move to post-quantum cryptography by 2029, a year earlier than prior end-of-decade targets. The companies argue that cryptographically relevant quantum computers may arrive sooner than expected, making migration a multi-year security effort that should start now.

The White House signed Executive Order 14412 to accelerate the U.S. government’s move to post-quantum cryptography, setting deadlines for agencies and contractors to adopt post-quantum encryption and authentication. Cloudflare says the order is an important milestone and notes that migration to post-quantum encryption is already underway, while post-quantum authentication is just beginning.
