## The Parsectix Difference

### Security as Code

Most partners treat Cloudflare as a static dashboard. We treat it as a **composable software platform**, engineering intelligence and automation into every layer of your defense.

## End-to-End Service Lifecycle

We support you at every stage of the journey, from architectural design to fully managed operations.

Phase 1: Plan

### Architecture & Design

Designing for Intelligence and Composability.

*   **Edge Audit:** Analyze DNS, Traffic Flows, and TLS.
*   **Stack Consolidation:** Consolidate WAF, Bot Mgmt, and CDN.
*   **Roadmap:** Risk-free migration from ANY vendor.

Phase 2: Build

### Engineering & Migration

Execution via Infrastructure as Code.

*   **IaC Deployment:** Terraform scripts for reproducible security.
*   **Custom Workers:** Edge logic for complex routing.
*   **API Schema:** Automated validation and mTLS setup.

Phase 3: Run

### Managed Operations

Your Dedicated Edge Ops Center.

*   **Rapid Response:** Proactive DDoS mitigation & analysis.
*   **WAF Tuning:** Continuous false-positive reduction.
*   **Log Analytics:** SIEM integration and threat hunting.

## Common Questions

### Will this slow down our website?

No, it usually speeds it up. Cloudflare acts as a massive global CDN, caching your content closer to users and optimizing images/code on the fly. We've seen significant improvements in Core Web Vitals.

### Do we need to change our hosting provider?

Not at all. Cloudflare sits _in front_ of your existing hosting (AWS, GCP, On-Prem). We just updated your DNS to route traffic through the Cloudflare network first.

### How do you handle False Positives?

We don't just "turn it on." We run in "Log Only" mode first to baseline your traffic. Then we tune the WAF rules specifically for your application patterns before switching to Block mode.

### Can you stop DDoS without blocking real users?

Yes. Cloudflare uses behavioral analysis, not just rate limiting. It can distinguish between a user driven traffic spike (e.g., Black Friday) and a botnet attack.

## Ready to Modernize Your Edge?

Don't settle for default settings. Partner with the team that engineers resilience. Get a complimentary analysis of your WAF posture and Cache Hit Ratios.
