BlackHawk Data Launches CloudSight

On March 17, 2026, BlackHawk Data announced the launch of CloudSight, an innovative platform designed to audit and monitor Cloudflare environments continuously. As numerous enterprises increasingly adopt Cloudflare, many struggle with visibility across their various configurations, including DNS settings and performance measures. Industry estimates reveal that around 38% of companies use Cloudflare, yet most only capitalize on 40-60% of its functionalities, leading to unrealized potential in security and performance enhancements.

CloudSight aims to fill this gap by providing organizations with a robust platform that constantly audits their Cloudflare environments. Its primary objectives are to identify configuration gaps and deliver actionable recommendations for optimization. Jason Caparoso, CTO and Co-Founder of BlackHawk Data, articulated the need for visibility and ongoing optimization: "Cloudflare is one of the most powerful security and performance platforms available today. But like any powerful platform, it requires visibility and ongoing optimization to deliver its full value. CloudSight was built to give organizations continuous insight into their Cloudflare environment so they can stay secure, performant, and fully optimized."

Key Features of CloudSight

CloudSight provides a comprehensive analysis of Cloudflare deployments across security posture, DNS configuration, traffic behavior, and developer platform usage. It automatically identifies misconfigurations and underutilized features that might hinder security and performance. Here are some of its key capabilities:

• - Continuous Security Auditing: Review Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, verify the effectiveness of bot management, assess Zero Trust posture, and identify potential attack exposure.
• - DNS Asset Intelligence: Analyze DNS records, validate DNSSEC and CAA records, and detect exposed or misconfigured assets.
• - Traffic Performance Insights: Monitor real-time traffic patterns to detect anomalies and discover optimization opportunities related to caching, compression, and delivery performance.
• - Configuration Drift Detection: Automatically recognize changes across zones and configurations ensuring adherence to best practices.
• - Security Scoring Reporting: Generate a clear letter-grade security score (from A+ to F) accompanied by executive-ready audit reports for stakeholders and compliance documentation.

With CloudSight, organizations gain a single, unified view to manage their Cloudflare deployments, allowing their security, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to keep a comprehensive overview of zones, services, and configurations across their environments. As Caparoso emphasized, "Many teams rely on Cloudflare for critical security and performance services, but they don't always have an easy way to continuously audit how it's configured. CloudSight turns Cloudflare from a powerful tool into a continuously optimized platform."

The platform includes over 21 automated security assessments spanning six audit categories, functioning through a continuous monitoring engine that detects risks before they can be exploited. CloudSight is now available for immediate use and is free for organizations that are currently running Cloudflare.
