Approov Limited, a leader in mobile app attestation and mobile API security, will participate as a Gold Sponsor of Cloudflare Connect 2026, the company announced today. The conference runs Oct. 19-21, 2026, at Moscone West in San Francisco. Approov will be on site all three days, including the Global Partner Summit on Oct. 19.
Approov and Cloudflare have partnered since 2024 to close a gap that web-focused defenses were never built to address: traffic that originates from mobile applications. Cloudflare Bot Management and API Shield inspect and score traffic at the edge. Approov adds cryptographic proof of what is calling the API, verifying that a request comes from a genuine, untampered instance of the customer’s own app running on an uncompromised device. Requests that cannot prove their provenance never reach the origin.
That distinction has become more consequential as agentic AI systems mature. Automated agents can navigate interfaces, solve challenges, replay credentials and generate traffic that is behaviorally indistinguishable from a person using a phone. Heuristic and behavioral scoring degrades against an adversary that can imitate behavior on demand. Attestation does not. An agent operating outside the genuine app cannot produce a valid Approov token, however convincingly it mimics human interaction.
Approov is also a Cloudflare customer. The Approov attestation service runs on Cloudflare’s global network and uses Argo Smart Routing to cut latency on attestation traffic, a material requirement because every protected API call waits on a verification decision returning inside the time budget of a mobile app. Building the service on the same network its customers already run on means protection is enforced close to the user rather than in a distant round trip.
“Cloudflare secures the edge. Approov secures the mobile client. Together, we extend Zero Trust from the device to the API. As agentic AI accelerates API abuse, scraping, and automated attacks, organizations need to verify not only what is accessing an API, but whether the request is coming from an authentic, untampered application. Our integration with Cloudflare enables joint customers to add this critical layer of trust while keeping legitimate traffic moving. We’re excited to return as a Gold Sponsor at Cloudflare Connect 2026 and showcase the next generation of mobile API defense,” said Ted Miracco, chief executive officer of Approov.
The partnership was extended in 2026 and now runs through 2028, giving joint customers a multiyear commitment behind the integration and giving both engineering teams a stable horizon for continued work on message signing and enriched mobile threat telemetry.
