Short answer
Often both. Cloudflare secures the AI tools and agents you already use; FirstNet Sovereign AI runs AI on FirstNet's own South African platform.
In detail: Secure AI with Cloudflare or Sovereign AI
Secure AI with Cloudflare fits when:
- Staff use public AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and you need visibility, guardrails and logs.
- Your applications call several AI providers and you want one control point for routing, cost and logging.
- AI agents need governed access to internal tools and data.
FirstNet Sovereign AI fits when:
- Prompts, data and inference must stay in South Africa, for example for sensitive personal information or regulated data.
- You want to run models on FirstNet's own GPU infrastructure in South Africa, the AI Factory.
The two work together: Cloudflare controls can steer sensitive work towards a sovereign platform while still allowing approved public tools for everyday tasks. A FirstNet specialist can help you decide which workloads go where.
