KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced expanding its Zero Trust firewall capabilities to help companies secure their entire corporate network across all of their branch offices, data centres, and clouds—no matter where their employees are working from.
Cloudflare also announced Oahu, a new program to help customers migrate from legacy hardware to the Cloudflare One suite of Zero Trust solutions. Now, CIOs can better connect and secure their corporate networks with Zero Trust security—without the traditionally hard, costly or complex migration.
Traditional firewalls consisted of hardware boxes installed on company premises, and were not designed for hybrid workforces or cloud applications. While some companies turned to “virtualized” firewalls to meet this challenge, these faced many of the same challenges as with hardware appliances, such as capacity planning and managing primary/backup devices.
With Cloudflare’s new cloud firewall functionality, CIOs can better secure their entire corporate network, apply Zero Trust policies to all traffic, and gain deeper network visibility. And since Cloudflare’s firewall runs everywhere, CIOs no longer need to rely on centralising traffic on one box in one location, physical or virtual.
The Oahu Program takes this further in a number of ways. First, it helps organisations with their Zero Trust migration by providing new capabilities and resources to simply and easily import policies from legacy hardware firewall boxes to Cloudflare’s cloud-native service.
Second, eligible organisations can qualify for discounts on Cloudflare’s Zero Trust firewall solution to mitigate the cost of switching, and finally, as part of the program, eligible customers who deprecate hardware firewalls may be entered for a chance to win a trip to Oahu, Hawaii.
“CIOs know that the corporate network is changing fast, and we want to help make that transition easy, flexible, and scalable,” said Cloudflare co-founder and CEO, Matthew Prince in a statement.
“When working from everywhere became possible, workers migrated from legacy locations like Palo Alto to work wherever they wanted. With our Oahu Program, we are making it easy for companies to leave legacy tech behind in favour of an everywhere firewall delivered from the cloud.”
