Cloudflare acquires Vectrix to expand Zero Trust SaaS security

Vectrix, a company that helps detect security issues across SaaS applications, has been acquired by Cloudflare. Vectrix focuses on both data and users in SaaS apps to alert IT and security teams about unauthorized user access, file exposure, misconfigurations, and shadow IT. The growing adoption of SaaS tools has led to new challenges for IT and security teams, such as files being made public or external users joining private chat channels. Cloudflare's API-driven CASB solution helps address these issues by scanning, detecting, and continuously monitoring security issues across organization-approved, IT-managed SaaS apps. The Vectrix team will be integrating its API-driven CASB functionality into the Cloudflare Zero Trust platform, which is set to launch later this year.
