The BlackHawk Difference

Why Organizations Choose BlackHawk for Cloudflare

Hundreds of partners resell Cloudflare. Very few can architect, deploy, and operate it at scale. Here's what separates us.

Certification Depth

100+ engineering certifications across Zero Trust, application security, network services, and edge compute. Our engineers hold accreditations most partners cannot achieve.

We Operate 24x7

Most partners hand you a runbook and walk away. Our NOC and SOC teams monitor, tune, and respond to Cloudflare events around the clock, every day.

Critical Infrastructure Experience

We deploy Cloudflare for transportation authorities, healthcare systems, universities, and utilities where downtime has real-world consequences.

Cloudflare + Fortinet Integration

Unique expertise combining Cloudflare SASE with Fortinet Security Fabric. Unified policy, single pane of glass, and defense-in-depth from edge to endpoint.

Direct Vendor Relationships

We maintain direct escalation paths with Cloudflare engineering and product teams. When edge cases arise, we get answers faster than any support tier.

Before You Ask

Questions we get every time

What level of Cloudflare partner is BlackHawk Data?

BlackHawk Data is a Cloudflare Elite Partner, the highest tier in the Cloudflare partner program. The team holds more than 50 Cloudflare-specific certifications, which are part of the 100+ engineering certifications BlackHawk Data holds across all vendors.

What does a Cloudflare Zero Trust deployment actually involve?

A Cloudflare Zero Trust deployment replaces implicit network trust with per-request identity and posture checks. BlackHawk Data covers identity provider integration, Access policy design for internal applications, device posture enforcement, and the migration path off legacy VPN concentrators. The work that usually takes longest is not the technology but establishing which applications exist and who is genuinely entitled to reach them.

What is the difference between Magic WAN and Magic Transit?

Magic WAN connects sites, clouds and remote users into a single software-defined network routed over Cloudflare’s global backbone, replacing MPLS or traditional SD-WAN overlays. Magic Transit protects public-facing IP ranges by absorbing DDoS attacks and filtering traffic at the edge before it reaches the origin. BlackHawk Data deploys both, and they are frequently used together rather than as alternatives.

Can BlackHawk Data migrate our DNS to Cloudflare without downtime?

Yes. DNS migration is a standard part of BlackHawk Data’s Cloudflare practice. Records are inventoried and reconciled against what is actually in service before any nameserver change, because the common cause of a painful DNS cutover is not the cutover itself but undocumented records that nobody knew were load-bearing until they stopped resolving.

Why do Cloudflare WAF and bot management need tuning?

A default Cloudflare tenant is configured for safety rather than for a specific application, so it tends to run permissively to avoid breaking legitimate traffic. BlackHawk Data tunes WAF rule sets and bot management against observed traffic for the application being protected, which both closes gaps a default configuration leaves open and reduces false positives that push teams toward disabling protection altogether.

How do we find out what our current Cloudflare tenant is leaving exposed?

BlackHawk Data built CloudSight for exactly this. It continuously audits a Cloudflare tenant for silent misconfigurations, security exposure, missing compliance evidence, and licensed features that are being paid for but never enabled. Most tenants have accumulated configuration drift that nobody has reviewed since the original onboarding.
