Configure identity-based policies in Cloudflare Gateway

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has released HTTP filtering in its Gateway service, expanding protection beyond DNS threats to include those at the HTTP layer as well. This feature allows administrators to create policies based on a user's identity and correlate that identity to activity in the Gateway HTTP logs. The integration between an organization's chosen identity provider (IdP) and Cloudflare Access enables this capability, allowing customers to integrate one or more providers at the same time. Additionally, IT administrators can use the Gateway activity logs to filter the HTTP traffic logs for specific users and device IDs, providing visibility into Internet traffic across an organization. This feature is available to any Gateway Standard or Teams customer at no additional cost.
