Dear colleagues,

In order to help mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against 
our web infrastructure, we have started testing Cloudflare's DDoS protection 
services in parts of our production environment as of today. We have seen an 
increase in the amount and severity of attacks in recent weeks, and this 
measure will give us added protection.

Cloudflare will be used on an experimental basis, with our 24x7 engineers on 
standby to monitor the situation closely. If we encounter any issues in 
configuring it, we have the capability to roll the entire infrastructure back 
to its original state within 60 seconds.

We are also investigating other options for longer-term improvements to the 
resilience of our web infrastructure during DDoS attacks in the coming months. 
If you have any questions or would like to share your feedback, please reach 
out to me.

Kind regards,

Oliver Payne
Web Services Team Manager
