Cloudflare for Campaigns
Secure your candidate's election website — and your team.
Voters routinely turn to the Internet to learn more about and connect with political candidates around the world. Protecting your campaign’s website from hostile attacks and ensuring it stays accessible 24/7 is as challenging as it is essential.
Cloudflare offers a suite of products tailor-made to assist campaigns in protecting, accelerating, and ensuring the reliability of their websites — with additional solutions designed to keep internal teams and data secure.
Political campaigns, like any organization, need a comprehensive approach to cyber security. Securing a candidate's website, their critical public-facing presence, and hardening access to key internal applications can vastly improve cyber security.

4 best practices to protect your website
Protect your account with two-factor authentication (2FA)
Requiring a second piece of information to validate your identity when logging in prevents unauthorized users from accessing sensitive data on your account.
Orange cloud your DNS records
When you orange cloud a DNS record, Cloudflare acts as a proxy for your domain. This shields your origin web server from unexpected traffic spikes and cyber attacks.
Use SSL encryption to protect your internal data
Secure Sockets Layer is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. With Cloudflare, your site can become HTTPS-enabled with the click of a button.
Turn your web application firewall on
WAFs act as a shield between a web application and the Internet, giving you the ability to decide whether to allow incoming and outgoing traffic to pass through. WAFs protect against SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and cross-site forgery.
