What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has implemented a machine learning classifier for detecting web application attacks, which augments their existing signature-based system.

This score is available to all business and enterprise users, providing instant zero-day mitigation for novel attack vectors without the need for manual intervention. Cloudflare has validated its effectiveness using Sitecore CVEs as an example
