A starting point for threat intelligence

Cloudflare announced Threat Signals on 29 September, making a threat-indicator feed available to all accounts. The free level includes one RSS feed and a private indicator dataset with 30-day retention. Customers can inspect indicators through the dashboard or API and use tags when building security rules.

A match still needs context

The feature brings external intelligence into the same environment where customers manage application protection. It can reduce the manual work of moving indicators between tools. A listed address or domain is a lead whose relevance depends on its source, freshness and relationship to the request being examined. Customers still decide how the intelligence affects enforcement. Broader feed options sit in paid levels rather than the free starting allowance.
