Three reasons GRAIL and Cloudflare should talk.

Point of view

Unify DNS, identity-aware access, email protection, browser security, and the planned Epic integration on one network.

Why Cloudflare?
Why now?

Cloudflare already protects grail.com. Galleri volume grew 50% year over year, FDA review is progressing, and broad Epic integration is planned by year-end 2026.

Official company source

GRAIL announced planned Galleri integration through Epic Aura, with broad availability expected by the end of 2026.

DNS / HTTP recon

Cloudflare protects the apex, but authoritative DNS remains on four Amazon Route 53 nameservers.

Official company source

A current GRAIL enterprise AI infrastructure role calls for an internal platform using Amazon EKS, Bedrock, and related AWS services.

Three highest-impact use cases

What to prove together

Prioritized by business impact and strength of public evidence.

01 Business outcome

Secure the planned Epic integration at the API edge

API Shield + Workers + WAF + Rate Limiting What Cloudflare does

API Shield and Workers can provide schema validation, mutual TLS where appropriate, rate controls, routing, and observability for the planned integration.

Bounded pilot

Discover one bounded API or agent workflow, then enforce schema, identity, and rate policy.

Measure

Discovered endpoints, blocked abuse, policy coverage, origin load, p95 latency.

02 Business outcome

Unify edge delivery and authoritative DNS

Cloudflare Authoritative DNS + DNSSEC What Cloudflare does

Moving authoritative DNS into the Cloudflare platform reduces split administration and aligns zone changes with edge policy and incident response.

Bounded pilot

Import one low-risk zone, validate records, DNSSEC, and rollback before delegation.

Measure

Query latency, availability, change time, failed lookups, retired DNS cost.

03 Business outcome

Govern the new EKS and AI platform edge

Cloudflare Tunnel + Access + API Shield + AI Gateway What Cloudflare does

Build private application access, API controls, and model observability into the platform pattern before usage and cluster dependencies scale.

Bounded pilot

Place one non-critical service or cluster ingress behind the common policy layer.

Measure

Ingress latency, failover time, blocked requests, load balancers retired, SRE hours.
