A bridge to Zero Trust
Cloudflare has announced a new feature that enables customers to route traffic from user devices with its lightweight roaming agent (WARP) installed to any network connected with its Magic IP-layer tunnels (Anycast GRE, IPsec, or CNI). This allows users to upgrade to Zero Trust over time, providing an easy path from traditional castle and moat architecture to next-generation security. The company believes that the future of corporate networks lies in SASE, where security and network functions shift from physical or virtual appliances to true cloud-native services. Cloudflare One, its combined Zero Trust network-as-a-service platform, allows customers to connect to its global network from any traffic source or destination with a variety of "on-ramps" depending on their needs.
