BGP hijack detection, exploited vulnerabilities, and how we build our products

Welcome to our weekly review of stories from our blog and other sources, covering a range of topics from product announcements, tools and features to disruptions on the Internet. João Tomé is joined by our CTO, John Graham-Cumming.

In this week's program, most of our Portugal team is responsible for welcoming everyone. We also cover some of the blog posts from the last two weeks. This includes Cloudflare Radar's new BGP origin hijack detection system, the most exploited vulnerabilities of 2022, and our Project Cybersafe Schools, which offers free security tools to small K-12 school districts in the United States.

We will also focus on a more general topic: the process of building things, from new features to the decision-making process of working on shipping new categories of products to the world. How has Cloudflare approached this, from ideas to demos to iteration? And how has the process evolved over the years? Workers, our developer platform used by many thousands of developers, is one example of this.
