New platform uses a Zero Trust security model
to provide an easy and reliable way for companies of all sizes to
protect the devices, data, and applications they rely on
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the security, performance, and
reliability company helping to build a better Internet, today
released Cloudflare One, a comprehensive, cloud-based
network-as-a-service solution for your workforce. As more
businesses rely on the Internet to operate, Cloudflare One protects
and accelerates the performance of devices, applications, and
entire networks to keep workforces secure. Now businesses can
protect their workforce in a flexible and scalable way, without
compromising security as distributed teams work from multiple
devices and personal networks.
"After decades of building legacy corporate networks,
organizations are left with clunky systems designed to protect
their now empty offices. The only way to secure today’s
work-from-anywhere economy is to secure each individual employee,
protecting their individual networks, devices, and access to
business-critical applications," said Matthew Prince, co-founder
and CEO of Cloudflare. “With Cloudflare One, we’re giving
organizations of any size the power to solve their security and
networking needs seamlessly, no matter how their business needs
shift.”
Companies have traditionally used a castle-and-moat approach to
security, creating a barrier between the enterprise network and
external threats. Now that applications have moved to the cloud,
and more employees have moved outside of the office, that model is
broken. Employees are frustrated with the speed and experience of
VPNs, and organizations want an alternative to the expensive
patchwork of legacy solutions required to secure and connect
corporate offices to each other and the Internet. Today’s new
landscape requires a Zero Trust approach, where organizations do
not automatically trust any requests to corporate data or
resources, and instead, verify every attempt to connect to
corporate systems before allowing them access.
With the rapid shift to remote work caused by the pandemic,
businesses of all sizes are looking to adopt a Zero Trust
architecture. According to an October 2020 commissioned study
conducted by Forrester Consulting:
- 76% of businesses today say their organization’s security
approach is “antiquated” and that they need to shift to a Zero
Trust framework.
- 82% of all organizations have already committed to migrating to
a Zero Trust security architecture.
- 80% of security leaders said that their organizations
accelerated cloud transformation efforts in 2020, but they were
unprepared to manage such an overhaul.
Cloudflare secures and accelerates more than 25 million Internet
properties using a global network that covers 200+ cities in more
than 100 countries. Cloudflare One uses that same network scale to
give businesses multiple on-ramps to the public Internet from
offices, to data centers, to employees in-the-field, and connects
traffic to Cloudflare’s comprehensive Zero Trust solution. This
unified solution enables fast and safe connections to workplace
applications, allows teams to use an app without exposing it to the
public Internet, makes personal devices safe for business use, and
works in any environment with any cloud provider.
Cloudflare One provides a unified set of tools for a Zero Trust
solution, giving organizations a one-stop-shop to do things
like:
- Secure every connection: Remote employees can get the
same protection they’d expect from a corporate firewall no matter
where they are working from. With Cloudflare One, Cloudflare Access
checks for identity across every workload and Cloudflare Gateway
keeps users, devices, and data safe on the Internet.
- Protect against Zero-Day attacks: Today’s browsers are
inherently vulnerable to zero-day attacks and other malicious
threats on the Internet. Cloudflare’s remote browser isolation
technology creates a gap between a user’s browser and endpoint,
protecting devices and networks from exploits and attacks.
- Integrate with the security solutions you’re using:
Cloudflare seamlessly connects with leading identity platforms like
Okta, Onelogin, and Ping Identity, and endpoint protection
platforms like CrowdStrike, VMware Carbon Black, Tanium, and
SentinelOne to verify identity and assess device health before
granting access to applications.
- Monitor and manage your network with a single pane of
glass: With Cloudflare's firewall features, businesses get a
comprehensive view of all data flows globally. Now businesses have
a bird's eye view of what’s happening on their data centers, branch
offices, clouds, and endpoints and then use that intelligence to
mitigate intrusions and threats quickly across the entire
network.
According to Chase Cunningham, VP, Principal Analyst Serving
Security & Risk Professionals at Forrester, in the report “The
Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust eXtended Ecosystem Platform Providers,
Q3 2020,” “As legacy technology becomes outdated and less
effective, improved technical capabilities powering the future of
work will dictate which providers will lead the pack. Vendors that
can provide a secure remote workforce, Zero Trust mission
completion, and easy-to-use technology position themselves to
successfully deliver true Zero Trust to their customers.”

“JetBlue Travel Products needed a way to give crew-members
secure and simple access to internally-managed benefit apps,” said
Vitaliy Faida, General Manager, Data/DevSecOps at JetBlue Travel
Products. “Cloudflare gave us all that and more — a much more
efficient way to connect business partners and crew-members to
critical internal tools."
“OneTrust relies on Cloudflare to maintain our network
perimeter, so we can focus on delivering technology that helps our
customers be more trusted,” said Blake Brannon, CTO of OneTrust.
“With Cloudflare, we can easily build context-aware Zero Trust
policies for secure access to our developer tools. Employees can
connect to the tools they need so simply teams don’t even know
Cloudflare is powering the backend. It just works.”
"Discord is where the world builds relationships. Cloudflare
helps us deliver on that mission, connecting our internal
engineering team to the tools they need,” said Mark Smith, Director
of Infrastructure at Discord. “With Cloudflare, we can rest easy
knowing every request to our critical apps is evaluated for
identity and context — a true Zero Trust approach."
"When you're a fast-growing, security-focused company like Area
1, anything that slows development down is the enemy,” said Blake
Darché, CSO at Area 1 Security. “With Cloudflare, we've found a
simpler, more secure way to connect our employees to the tools they
need to keep us growing — and the experience is
lightning-fast."
"We launched quickly in April 2020 to bring remote learning to
children throughout the UK during the coronavirus pandemic," said
John Roberts, Technology Director at Oak National Academy.
"Cloudflare Access made it fast and simple to authenticate a huge
network of teachers and developers into our production sites and we
set it up in literally less than an hour. Cloudflare's WAF helped
ensure the security and resilience of our public-facing website
from day one."
“With Cloudflare, we’ve been able to reduce our dependence on
VPNs and IP allow-listing for development environments. Our
developers and testers aren't required to login from specific
locations, and we’ve been able to deploy an SSO solution to
simplify the login process,” said Alexandre Papadopoulos, Director
of Cyber Security, INSEAD. “Access is easier to manage than VPNs
and other remote access solutions, which has removed pressure from
our IT teams. They can focus on internal projects instead of
spending time managing remote access.”

“In today’s work-from-anywhere business culture, the risk of
compromise has substantially increased as employees and their
devices are continuously surrounded by a hostile threat environment
outside the office walls,” said Amol Kulkarni, Chief Product
Officer at CrowdStrike. “Through our integration with Cloudflare,
organizations can leverage the power of the CrowdStrike Falcon
platform to accurately assess the security posture of any host for
application access, delivering end-to-end Zero Trust protection
across endpoints, workloads and applications to stop attacks in
real-time.”
“The VMware Carbon Black Cloud consolidates multiple endpoint
and workload security offerings into a single, cloud native
platform,” said Tom Corn, Senior Vice President, Security Business
Unit, VMware. “Leveraging VMware Carbon Black Cloud, Cloudflare can
help customers enable devices connecting to their cloud and Zero
Trust networks are better secured and managed.”
"Ping Identity helps enterprises improve security and user
experience across their digital footprint with their Intelligent
Identity Platform," said Baber Amin, CTO West of Ping Identity.
"Cloudflare integrates with Ping Identity's global authentication
authority to provide a comprehensive identity and zero trust
networking solution to teams working on the internet, and ensure
that only the right people get the appropriate access to resources
at the right time."
“Enterprises have come to terms with the notion of a
disintegrating traditional perimeter. The distributed and dynamic
perimeter of today requires a fundamentally new approach to
security,” said Chuck Fontana, SVP Business & Corporate
Development at SentinelOne. “In partnership with Cloudflare, our
AI-powered cybersecurity platform offers modern enterprises a more
robust zero trust security solution that spans the devices, the
network, and the mission critical applications enterprises rely
on."
"Zero trust security architectures started at the network level
with segmentation and enforcement, but as corporate resources and
data increasingly live on endpoints, a zero trust architecture must
take both the endpoint and the network into consideration," said
Pete Constantine, Chief Product Officer at Tanium. "Knowing the
identity of the endpoint, as well as knowing that it’s up-to-date,
hardened against security threats and hasn’t been compromised, is
paramount in ensuring secure access to an organization's
resources."
"As enterprises make the move to cloud infrastructure and adopt
zero trust security models, they need to visualize, manage, and
enforce security policy across heterogenous hybrid networks,” said
Satin Mirchandani, President and CEO of FireMon. “Through our
partnership with Cloudflare, enterprises can embrace the
performance and security benefits of Cloudflare One while ensuring
consistent visibility and control across their entire network
security estate."
