New integrations between Cloudflare One and Microsoft Azure Active Directory will help businesses deploy seamless Zero Trust security without changing a line of code.
To enhance the organization’s Zero Trust security, Cloudflare, Inc. has announced an expansion of its relationship with Microsoft. This will help customers easily deploy and automate the security.
Working from anywhere is more common than ever, and critical applications have moved to the cloud—no longer residing inside an office protected by a secure perimeter. This fundamental shift in where and how people work has caused enterprises to rethink legacy tools and abandon the traditional castle-and-moat approach to security, looking towards Zero Trust instead. As CIOs continue to navigate this paradigm shift, Cloudflare has developed a new set of integrations with Microsoft to help organizations on this journey. Now, mutual customers can seamlessly deploy Zero Trust security tools in minutes, with no complex code changes, and add industry-first features, such as Cloudflare’s Remote Browser Isolation technology.
“When I speak with CIOs, I continue to hear that their number one concern remains security, closely followed by adapting to the new hybrid world. We want to make it easier than ever for IT leaders to deploy Zero Trust security across the enterprise and keep users safe wherever they are working from. I’m thrilled that we are deepening our integration with Microsoft so we can help our joint customers easily deploy Zero Trust security across some of the most used applications in the workplace,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and Co-founder, Cloudflare.
Through these new integrations, Cloudflare now provides a comprehensive identity driven approach to protect applications, users, devices and networks from attacks. These integrations pair Microsoft Identity solutions and Cloudflare network security tools to create a quality Zero Trust offering.
“A cloud-native zero trust security model has become an absolute necessity as enterprises continue to adopt a cloud-first strategy. Cloudflare has developed robust product integrations with Microsoft to help security and IT leaders prevent attacks proactively, dynamically control policy and risk, and increase automation in alignment with zero trust best practices,” said Joy Chik, President, Identity and Network Access, Microsoft.
Cloudflare’s deep integrations across Microsoft 365 and Azure have supported many of the largest Fortune 500 companies on their Zero Trust journey, enabling customers to simply and easily support their security and performance needs. Most recently, Microsoft named Cloudflare the winner of its Security Software Innovator of the Year award.
