Cloudflare Gateway now protects teams, wherever they are

Cloudflare has announced two new features for its Cloudflare Gateway secure web gateway solution. The first feature is an integration with the Cloudflare WARP desktop client, which uses WireGuard to provide a more efficient and flexible VPN protocol than legacy options. The second feature is L7 filtering, which allows administrators to inspect traffic for threats that hide below the surface of DNS queries. These features are designed to help organizations protect their distributed workforces in light of increased security threats during the pandemic. Cloudflare Gateway now supports HTTP traffic filtering based on various criteria such as URLs, paths, query strings, HTTP methods, response codes, file types and names, MIME types, and URL security or content categories. The company plans to extend support for IP, port, and protocol filtering with a cloud L4 firewall later this year.
