Cloudflare One is a network-as-a-service (NaaS) solution for businesses, which securely connects your remote users, offices, and data centers to each other and to the resources they need. It is designed to be secure, fast, reliable and define the future of the corporate network.
It replaces a patchwork of WAN devices and technologies with a single network that provides cloud-based security, performance and control through one user interface.
Whether we call this SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) or simply the new reality, today’s enterprise needs flexibility at every layer of the network and application stack. Users need secure, authenticated access wherever they are: in the office, on a mobile device, or working from home. Corporate network architectures must reflect the state of modern computing that requires secure, filtered Internet access to access SaaS or public cloud, secure application connectivity to protect against hackers and DDoS, and fast, reliable access to branch offices and
home offices.
The new corporate network must be global. No matter where applications are hosted or employees reside, connectivity must be secure and fast. With Cloudflare’s massive global presence, traffic is protected, routed and filtered through an optimized backbone that uses real-time Internet intelligence to protect against the latest threats and route traffic in the event of poor connectivity and internet outages. .
Cloudflare One puts your entire corporate network behind a single pane of glass. By integrating with leading identity providers and endpoint security solutions, it enables enterprises to enforce a consistent set of policies across all their applications. Because the network is the common denominator for all applications, by building control into the network, Cloudflare One ensures consistent policies, whether an application is new or legacy, running on-premises or in the cloud, and made available from your own infrastructure or from a SaaS provider. Cloudflare One also helps streamline complicated deployments. While it would be ideal for all applications and all employees and vendors to use the same identity provider, that is not always possible. Acquisitions, skunk works projects, and internal disagreements can cause multiple different solutions within a company. Cloudflare One allows you to connect different providers in a unified network control plane to ensure consistent policies.
