About Cloudflare Spectrum & Magic Transit
Cloudflare Spectrum and Magic Transit work together to secure and accelerate non-HTTP traffic and network-level communications.
Spectrum extends Cloudflare’s security and performance benefits to protocols like TCP and UDP, helping protect remote desktop, SSH, and gaming servers from DDoS attacks while optimizing traffic routing.
Magic Transit, on the other hand, safeguards entire networks against volumetric and sophisticated threats by routing traffic through Cloudflare’s global edge, applying advanced filtering and performance optimizations.
Both solutions integrate seamlessly, offering flexible deployment models and minimal latency—empowering businesses of all sizes to fortify their infrastructures against today’s evolving cyber threats.
