Adding a CASB to Cloudflare Zero Trust

What this post added

This post announces the acquisition of Vectrix, a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) company, and its integration into the Cloudflare Zero Trust product group. It details how CASB functionality will be a component of a comprehensive Zero Trust deployment, rather than a standalone solution. The post outlines Cloudflare's journey in building its Zero Trust platform, starting with Cloudflare Access for internal resource protection (replacing VPNs) and then Cloudflare Gateway for protecting users from the public internet. The integration of Vectrix addresses the third piece of the Zero Trust puzzle: controlling data and configurations within SaaS applications. Vectrix's technology scans SaaS applications for configuration anomalies, permission issues, and sharing risks, providing a unified control and audit point. The post emphasizes the customer-obsessed nature of both Cloudflare and Vectrix, and how Vectrix's technology delivers value faster by simplifying security scans for organizations of all sizes.
