Using Cloudflare One to Secure IoT devices

The article discusses the security risks associated with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and how they can be exploited by hackers. It highlights a real-life example of the Mirai botnet attack in 2016, where millions of IoT devices were compromised to launch DDoS attacks. The article also mentions an incident involving Cloudflare's potential vendor for physical security cameras, Verkada, which was hacked and allowed a hacker to access their internal support tools. The author then discusses the use of Cloudflare One as a solution to secure IoT devices by isolating them without deploying on a separate network. This approach provides security guarantees without requiring additional hardware and can be managed from a single dashboard, offering simplicity, adaptability, and superior security compared to other methods. The article concludes with the author's plans to begin rolling out Cloudflare One internally at their data center sites as part of a Physical Security initiative to keep their most trusted assets secure.
