Cloudflare and Deutsche Telekom partner to boost European internet security

Deutsche Telekom and Cloudflare announced a strategic partnership to strengthen the security and resilience of digital infrastructure for European enterprises. The arrangement includes interconnecting their networks and expanding Deutsche Telekom’s enterprise portfolio with Cloudflare’s security and connectivity services, potentially improving performance and protection for organizations across Europe.

What is changing

The two companies say they will directly interconnect their networks, creating a combined service path for European businesses to access Cloudflare’s global platform. Deutsche Telekom’s enterprise arm, T-Systems, will offer Cloudflare’s security and connectivity solutions as part of its portfolio, aiming to improve security, reliability, and performance for customers.

Who is affected

European enterprises that rely on cloud services, web applications, or online services may benefit from the new arrangements. The partnership targets organizations that want stronger protection against internet threats, faster and more reliable connectivity, and easier access to Cloudflare’s security tools through a familiar telecom provider.

Practical next steps

If you are an enterprise customer of Deutsche Telekom or Cloudflare, check with your account representative about availability and timelines for the new integrated services. Ask specifically about any required onboarding steps, data handling policies, and how interconnection might affect latency and uptime for your applications. Consider evaluating your current security posture to identify whether Cloudflare’s tools through this partnership align with your needs for threat protection, DDoS mitigation, and web performance.
