HOW IT WORKS

Enable faster, safer internal access with Zero Trust

Eliminate the poor performance and inherent vulnerabilities of VPN access with Cloudflare’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) service.

  • Create a consistent, SaaS-like login process across all internal resources. Integration with preferred identity providers offers users a familiar experience.

  • Boost remote access performance by capitalizing on Cloudflare’s extensive global network. Users enjoy fast performance from anywhere in the world.

  • Eliminate implicit trust of network “insiders.” Authenticate each request based on user identity, device posture, and other contextual factors.

  • Enhance your ZTNA deployment over time. Start with clientless access for quick time to value, then add client-based capabilities and add inline RBI and DLP, or automate with Terraform.

Strategies to speed up VPN replacement

CLOUDFLARE TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

Applied Systems replaced their sluggish VPN with Cloudflare

Applied Systems needed to address poor VPN performance and reduce management complexity while eliminating the risks of granting users full network access.

The company replaced their VPN and outbound Internet access solutions with Cloudflare’s SSE platform. As a result, Applied Systems gained more granular access control, has consolidated administration, and is delivering better user experiences.

“We have received great feedback on Cloudflare Zero Trust — it’s easier to deploy and better for our employees. We are much more secure as an organization with the same amount of time available to us.”
