RESOLVED 1 day ago - at 01/07/2026 05:46PM

Services in the data center has been restored to normal.

The IAD PoP was inadvertently deactivated, which caused customer CWAF traffic to be temporarily routed to alternate PoPs. Once identified, the PoP was reactivated, and engineers have confirmed that traffic has now shifted back to IAD and is being processed normally.
During the incident, some traffic may have experienced a brief period of session resets and increased latency due to sub-optimal routing to alternate PoPs.
Further research will be performed into how to prevent the triggering event which caused the PoP deactivation from recurring, and additional details will be provided following a completed root cause analysis.
