Cyber Security·Class of 2025
Cloudflare held cyber security UX again in the 2025 UX100 class
UX100 · 9 December 2025
Cloudflare leads cyber security again in 2025. This is the second-year essay: the control panel was still the interface a team could run during an incident.
The category was checked again
Security products in 2025 added more copilots to dashboards that were already hard to read. Cloudflare remained the surface where a site, a firewall rule, and a traffic spike are objects with names. UX100 published it again because the alternative was a thicker alert list.
The 2024 essay explains the first decision. This one explains why a second class did not move the leader.
Operable trust
The user is still the person on call. Certificates, bots, and performance sit in one grammar so an incident does not start with a vendor map. That grammar is the award, not a claim about being “secure” in the abstract.
A third essay exists for 2026
Cloudflare also leads the 2026 class. The later piece asks whether the panel was still the daily interface after another year. Read them as a sequence. The winner page is the single case.
Questions about this award
Is Cloudflare the 2025 UX100 cyber security winner?
Yes. Cloudflare leads the category in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This article is only the 2025 decision.
Why are there three Cloudflare blog posts?
Each class is published on its own. Repeating a winner does not mean repeating the essay. The 2025 piece is about a second look at the category.
