How small businesses can start using Cloudflare One today

On October 15th, 2020, Brian Parks announced the release of Cloudflare One™, a comprehensive network-as-a-service solution designed to improve security and performance while reducing cost and complexity for businesses of all sizes. The platform is built to handle large corporate networks but also aims to serve smaller companies by providing access to better internet services. The week of the announcement was marked as Zero Trust Week at Cloudflare, with a focus on their mantra of "Zero Trust for Everyone." This security framework assumes that all networks, devices, and internet destinations are inherently compromised and should not be trusted. Cloudflare One facilitates this by securing how users connect to corporate applications and the internet at large. The text outlines a step-by-step guide on how small businesses can secure their devices, applications, and networks using Cloudflare One's Zero Trust model of security. The platform offers features such as DNS filtering, Zero Trust access, and a management dashboard for up to 50 users at no cost. Additionally, the text mentions upcoming releases that will extend protection and connectivity to teams operating smaller networks with Cloudflare's Magic Transit™ product. The overall goal of Cloudflare One is to provide businesses with better internet services while improving security and reducing costs.
