Magic WAN & Magic Firewall: secure network connectivity as a service

In October 2020, Cloudflare introduced Cloudflare One, a vision for the future of corporate networking and security. Today, they have announced two foundational aspects of this platform: Magic WAN and Magic Firewall. Magic WAN provides secure, performant connectivity and routing for your entire corporate network, reducing cost and operational complexity. Magic Firewall integrates smoothly with Magic WAN, enabling you to enforce network firewall policies at the edge, across traffic from any entity within your network. Traditional network architecture doesn't solve today's problems, as enterprise networks have historically adopted one of a few models that were designed for secure information flow between offices and data centers, with access to the Internet locked down and managed at office perimeters. As applications moved to the cloud and employees moved out of offices, these designs stopped working, and band-aid solutions like VPN boxes don't solve the core problems with enterprise network architecture. Magic WAN allows you to securely connect any traffic source - data centers, offices, devices, cloud properties - to Cloudflare’s network and configure routing policies to get the bits where they need to go, all within one SaaS solution. Magic Firewall allows you to centrally manage policy across your entire network, all at the edge as a service. Magic WAN provides the foundation for the broad suite of functions included in Cloudflare One, which were all built in software from the ground up to scale and integrate smoothly. Magic Firewall is available for Magic WAN out of the box, and customers can easily activate additional Zero Trust security and performance features such as their Secure Web Gateway with remote browser isolation, Intrusion Detection System, Smart Routing, and more.
