Zero trust network access (ZTNA) for your self-hosted and SaaS applications

Provide identity-first, quantum-safe access to your self-hosted apps, SaaS applications, and infrastructure. Govern connections between your workforce, AI agents, and internal data while leaving vulnerable, legacy VPNs behind.

Mitigate lateral movement

Shrink your attack surface by granting granular, least privilege access per resource rather than relying on risky network-level access. Verify every request based on identity, device posture, and other context.

Simplify management

Streamline ZTNA operations with one-time integrations, composable software connectors, and unified zero trust policies. Centralize policy administration, and use intuitive APIs and Terraform to scale your automation.

Improve team productivity

Make on-premises applications feel just like SaaS apps with smooth, frictionless authentication. Ensure routing and policy enforcement are lightning-fast by leveraging Cloudflare's extensive global network.

Apply “never trust, always verify” — everywhere

Manage access across your internal environment

Augment or replace your VPN

Traditional VPNs are too risky, inefficient, and slow for modern distributed work. Start augmenting your VPN by offloading critical apps or risky users for better security and an improved end-user experience.

Secure third-party access

Accelerate onboarding for contractors, partners, and unmanaged devices. Authenticate third-party users directly through the browser using clientless access, social identity providers, and one-time PINs.

Accelerate M&A IT integration

Bypass the risks and complexity of a traditional network merge during mergers and acquisitions. Provide secure "Day 1" per-app internal access by easily integrating multiple identity providers from both organizations.

Enable developers with privileged access

Extend zero trust controls to sensitive infrastructure targets, such as SSH and RDP. Ensure privileged technical users can securely access critical infrastructure without disrupting their native DevOps workflows.

Govern AI agents

Centralize, secure, and observe every MCP connection in your organization. Manage AI budgets by user, team, or application and limit frontier model usage to keep AI costs under control.
