Simplifying your network using Cloudflare’s connectivity cloud

In the wake of the pandemic, organizations are re-examining their office arrangements and shifting their policies to support hybrid work. It presents an opportunity to improve agility by adding more flexibility to previously immutable resources.

Most corporate networks have become over-engineered for today’s needs, partly because connectivity and security were inseparable and codependent. Traffic flows had to be enabled for networking and selectively disabled for security purposes. With Cloudflare, use our connectivity cloud to deliver networking and security services. This effectively helps in a number of ways:

• Support your users in any location, using our data centers rather than having to build out yours.
• Protect your applications and public facing infrastructure by using Cloudflare as the “front door” for your network.
• Eliminate lateral movement by reducing the attack surface within your network by disabling the overly permissive firewall controls that are typically extended to on-prem users.
