Chaos in Cloudflare’s Lisbon office: securing the Internet with wave motion

The Cloudflare company has added a new feature to its European headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal, a "wall of entropy" made of 50 wave machines generating constant motion and contributing to the company's security system, LavaRand. This installation honors Portugal's passion for the sea and exploration, echoing the country's maritime history and cultural significance. The wall is part of a larger project that includes the design ethos of the office space, which mimics the dynamic flow of the Internet itself. Cloudflare's LavaRand API makes this randomness accessible internally, strengthening cryptographic security across its global infrastructure.
