Summary

Cloudflare Radar has announced significant updates during their Birthday Week, introducing regional Internet traffic insights and enhanced Certificate Transparency (CT) data. The new regional insights allow users to observe Internet traffic trends at a more localized level, offering detailed breakdowns by region and autonomous systems, which is beneficial for understanding local events' impacts on traffic. The introduction of CT data enhances Radar's mission to offer in-depth visibility into Internet security by providing insights into TLS certificates, including details on certificate volume, characteristics, and issuance trends. These updates aim to provide more granular insights into Internet traffic and security, helping users understand the dynamics of online activity and the trust infrastructure. Additionally, the updates facilitate a deeper exploration of data through Cloudflare's Data Explorer and API, allowing for customized regional analyses and broader insights into certificate coverage and CT logs. As Cloudflare continues to enhance its offerings, feedback from users is encouraged to further refine these tools.
