Ever clicked into an online website only to see a pop-up that writes “verify you are human”?

If you’ve scrutinised the pop-up, chances are, you might find a logo at the side that says “Cloudflare”. 

And if you have found the logo – then bingo – you’ve already been introduced to our guest for today. 

Founded in 2009, Cloudflare is a leading connectivity cloud company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. While it offers security solutions like popups to verify human users, its business spans way beyond that. 


The firm said it empowers users to make their employees, applications and networks faster and more secure everywhere while reducing complexity and cost. That’s through its suite of cloud-native products and developer tools for companies to develop and accelerate their businesses. 

Cloudflare had in November 2024 forecasted fourth quarter revenue of between US$451 million and US$452 million, lower than the analysts’ average estimate of US$455.7 million based on data compiled by LSEG. 

The expectations came amid intensifying competition among cloud and cybersecurity players and as enterprises dial back on expenditures as they look to an uncertain global economy. 

But how does the firm assess its current operating environment and what does the road ahead look like for it?

On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Ben Munroe, Vice-President of Marketing, Asia Pacific at Cloudflare.

Under the Radar: How does Cloudflare navigate increased competition and lower enterprise spending and what are the opportunities ahead?

This time, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian reports from Hong Kong, where Chinese e-commerce giant Taobao announced one of its most significant strategic shifts for its overseas business in recent years to focus on the quality and distinctiveness of products listed on its platforms.

To support the shift, Taobao embarked on a comprehensive upgrade to its cross border shopping experience, with expanded direct access worldwide to curated stores and products from China.

Taobao also noted that the new strategy is backed by substantial investments in the region, adding that it spent over RMB 100 million on marketing efforts alone in Singapore for this year’s single’s day campaign period. 

But how exactly does the new direction prepare Taobao for its next phase of growth in both Asia Pacific and Singapore, where e-commerce competition is intensifying of late? 

In this “On the Go” Special episode of Under the Radar, Tian Tian seeks to answer the question by speaking to Ye Tian, General Manager, Taobao & Tmall Overseas and Cora Cai, Country Head, Taobao Singapore.

Artificial intelligence is shaking up the enterprise technology landscape and for software giant SAP, the stakes are particularly high. 

After all, the German company spent over half a century building software solutions that connect core business processes from finance, supply chain management, manufacturing, human resources to even analytics in a single, integrated environment. 

These solutions were optimised for humans to track operations, manage finances and conduct scenario testing across departments and silos.

But what will happen to the enterprise software firm when the ones taking charge of these business processes are no longer humans, but AI agents?

Well, it’ll have to build an ecosystem for catering to the needs of autonomous enterprises.

In May 2026, the firm launched the SAP Business Platform that teaches AI agents how to use and work through its enterprise software based on the context of its customers’ workflows.

Besides teaching agents how to use its software, SAP also introduced the SAP Autonomous Suite, which enables SAP’s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish.

Finally, it also launched the Joule Work, a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software. 

For instance, instead of navigating multiple applications and screens to search for data or to conduct scenario testing, users can interact with Joule, who will then find out the right combination of workflows, data and even seek the help of AI agents. 

But can SAP turn decades of enterprise data, workflows and customer relationships into an advantage to supercharge its growth in the AI era? And where does Asia Pacific fit into its next phase of growth?

On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Verena Siow, Regional President, Asia Pacific, SAP.
