In response, AI Audit allows site owners to track AI scrapers and block or allow them with a simple click. This offers a new level of control over how digital content is accessed. Hence, making it easier for even smaller sites to protect their intellectual property.
So now question that I would be seeking is how this AI audit would help differential Cloudflare from other provider in cloud web security, can this bring them more customers and hence more revenues?
Cloudflare has 210,166 paying customers as of June 2024, showing a20.7% year-over-year increase. Cloudflare's paying customer base has grown by 2.19x since Q2 2020.
The minimum threshold for being considered a “large customer” by Cloudflare is an annualized revenue of $100,000 or more per account.
Cloudflare had a total of3,0462024年第2四半期には、年間売上高で10万ドル以上をもたらす大口顧客が増加しました。このインターネットセキュリティ企業は、過去1年間で企業セグメントを29.51%増やしました。
なぜAI Scrapingが小規模な発行者にとって問題なのか
