Cloudflare unveils new partner bundles to streamline security & IT
Cloudflare has introduced new solution bundles for its PowerUP Partner Programmeme to help partners deliver unified networking, security, and application management through a single platform.
The new offerings are designed to support organisations as they look to simplify their technology operations and reduce cyber risk while cutting costs and enabling digital transformation. Cloudflare's platform approach ensures partners can offer customers a consolidated service, reducing the need to manage multiple disparate solutions.
With organisations increasingly adopting more applications and deploying artificial intelligence workloads, the challenge of managing and securing a wider range of systems has grown. Traditionally, partners provided solutions focused on specific areas, lacking visibility across a customer's entire technology portfolio.
Cloudflare's PowerUP Partner Programmeme now features bundled solutions aimed at eliminating application complexity, enhancing cyber security, supporting multicloud connectivity, and reducing expenditure. These bundles offer partners substantial discounts, dependent on their partner level and the solutions adopted. Each bundle is tailored to provide customers an accessible path to scale their networking and security operations using secure access service edge (SASE) and application services.
"Partners are at the core of Cloudflare's go-to-market strategy. This past year we have introduced innovative tools, launched impactful incentives, and expanded enablement to help our partners equip more businesses with the security, performance, and reliability of Cloudflare's connectivity cloud platform. Partners are actively turning to us to help customers consolidate at-scale. Now, our new solution bundles will help them capitalise on this opportunity," said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at Cloudflare.
Cloudflare continues to expand its network of Global Service Integrators, Managed Security Service Providers, Resellers, and Distributors. The company works in partnership with organisations such as IBM Cloud, Kyndryl, Rakuten Mobile, GuidePoint Security, and Presidio.
Nataraj Nagaratnam, IBM Fellow, CTO, AI Security and Architecture, commented on the collaboration: "Both IBM and Cloudflare share a commitment to equip businesses with security, reliability, and speed across their Internet properties. Together, with IBM Cloud Internet Services powered by Cloudflare, we have been delivering solutions to enterprises worldwide, including large banks and insurance companies. We are proud to be collaborating with Cloudflare as we strive to deliver solutions that can withstand the evolving Internet and threat landscape."
Paul Savill, Global Practise Leader for Network and Edge at Kyndryl, said: "Kyndryl's alliance with Cloudflare empowers enterprises to modernise their networks with confidence and accelerate their digital transformation agendas. Together, we're enabling customers across industries - from global supply chain leaders to top financial institutions and major manufacturers - to help secure, streamline, and simplify their IT infrastructure. The result is an intelligent, more resilient, and cost-efficient modern networking foundation for innovation and growth."
Kazuhiro Suzuki, Co-CEO of Rakuten Mobile, added: "Rakuten Mobile and Cloudflare partnered together this year in April, creating a first of its kind enhanced security service for corporate clients in Japan as Cloudflare's first MSSP partner in the country, supporting corporate zero-trust security. By combining Cloudflare's connectivity cloud platform of solutions with our managed services, we've been empowering our clients' digital transformation with a one-stop solution for network and security for corporate clients across all sectors in Japan."
On the importance of robust digital security, Mark Thornberry, SVP, Partnerships at GuidePoint Security, stated: "GuidePoint Security is a trusted advisor to many of the world's leading organisations. Together with Cloudflare, we're empowering organisations to reduce risk, strengthen internal and external protections and maintain performance across their digital environments. Our customers-from global financial institutions to multinational hospitality companies-work hand-in-hand with us to strengthen their security posture, and we're proud to help secure their businesses, teams and users worldwide."
Jim Finn, Sales VP for Presidio, commented: "Presidio's commitment to delivering speed, quality, and innovation perfectly aligns with Cloudflare as the strategic platform that businesses can rely on to secure and optimise their environments. Together, we empower clients across industries from financial services and healthcare to media and beyond to modernise, protect, and optimise their environments with confidence."
The PowerUP Partner Programmeme received recognition in 2025 with the highest ranking from CRN, being awarded a 5-Star ranking and listed among the top four cloud security vendors. Other recognitions include CRN's AI 100 Hottest AI Cybersecurity Companies, Cloud 100 Coolest Cloud Security Companies, Security 100 Coolest Web, Email and Application Security Companies, and a Tech Innovators finalist position for Cloudflare Quantum-Safe Zero Trust. Mark Anderson and Tom Evans also received industry accolades for their contributions to the channel and executive leadership.
