India, June 18: Cloudflare, Inc. the connectivity cloud company, today announced the launch of its Cloudflare One Design Partner Designation. The new initiative will help customers safely adopt AI, simplify their networking, and defend against an expanding attack surface. As a high-priority tier within Cloudflare’s PowerUP Partner Program, this designation focuses on the Cloudflare One suite with a select group of partners including Arctiq, Consortium, CMT, Presidio, Softcell, The Missing Link, among others worldwide. The program will equip these partners with the deep technical expertise required to secure against today’s threats and accelerate innovation efforts.
Migrating away from legacy security architectures is traditionally slow and risky. When companies rely on a patchwork of siloed tools, they face severe friction. Auditing existing environments, mapping out new architectures, and avoiding configuration errors during vendor transitions can create dangerous vulnerabilities. This fragmentation doesn't just create security gaps—it completely stalls innovation, which is particularly dangerous as AI adoption accelerates.
“Cloudflare One has evolved into a partner-led engine and our new Design Partner Designation is built to propel long-term growth,” said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at Cloudflare. “This new framework represents our deepest channel co-investment yet. We are equipping our elite partners with the financial runway and technical mastery they want to scale the Cloudflare One platform. By blending our unified SASE architecture with partner expertise, we are turning complex network migrations into high-margin, high-value consulting opportunities for the AI era.”
To support the launch, Cloudflare is introducing the Cloudflare One Stack. This framework provides a robust library of authoritative AI skills that security teams can use with any agent to evaluate, deploy, and manage Cloudflare One. Built directly on top of Cloudflare One, these skills provide structured knowledge, decision trees, and tool definitions that AI agents can automatically use. By giving partners access to a central repository of blueprint configurations and automated workflows, Cloudflare eliminates tedious manual provisioning. Instead, partners can focus on delivering high-margin managed services tailored for the AI era.
