Cloudflare has announced several new capabilities for Cloudflare One, the Zero Trust SASE platform, making it the only cloud-native zero trust solution with a global network scale.
New features for Cloudflare One include email security, data loss prevention tools, cloud access security broker (CASB), and private network discovery.
According to the company, these additions mean any organization can leverage Cloudflare One for a comprehensive and deeply integrated zero-trust security and network solution to protect and accelerate the performance of devices, applications, and entire networks to keep staff safe and productive.
Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince says, “When I sit with clients, they share that one of the terrifying aspects of zero trust security is just where to start. To make matters worse, each vendor has a different definition. For zero trust, they are turning a critical approach to safety into a misunderstood and overused concept.
“We believe zero trust should extend across the network, from email to data centers, and speed connections between users and endpoints, not slow people down. And we want to give every customer a step-by-step guide to what they can do today, this week, and this month to make themselves safer, regardless of their supplier.”
According to Cloudflare, employees today are highly mobile, and critical applications have moved to the cloud, meaning they are no longer in an office protected by a secure perimeter.
This fundamental shift in where and how people work has led enterprises to rethink legacy tools like VPNs and hardware boxes and move away from the traditional approach to security in search of zero trust.
Cloudflare One unifies network security-as-a-service built into the network and provides reliable global connectivity, cloud-based security, and better visibility and control through a common dashboard and API.
The company said that Cloudflare’s zero trust platform enables organizations to secure their applications and employees against the modern threat landscape.
Cloudflare One provides a comprehensive Zero Trust SASE solution natively built into Cloudflare’s global network. This integrated approach ensures deployment in just a few clicks, fast performance wherever users are, and robust security for endpoints, networks, and email.
Automatically protect users from phishing attacks: Email is one of the largest cyber-attack vectors on the web, making integrated email security critical to any true zero-trust network. Combining industry-leading phishing protection from Cloudflare’s recent acquisition of Area 1 Security with Cloudflare’s advanced Browser Isolation, malicious links are automatically quarantined in a remote browser session. Secure every connection with zero trust checks while accelerating users and services: Whether users connect to internal resources, the Internet, or simply access email, Cloudflare’s global network ensures zero trust filtering can be applied to anything without slowing it down. Comprehensive controls for data at any location: In addition to just in-line scanning, Cloudflare’s Zero Trust platform provides real-time controls with built-in data loss prevention tools to scan for sensitive information or data at rest with an API-driven CASB. Connect and secure data, devices, offices, cloud networks, and more without relying on hardware boxes: Cloudflare Magic WAN is now widely available, enabling businesses to accelerate their network and add security at a lower cost than legacy MPLS architecture.
