Control web applications with two-clicks in Cloudflare Gateway
Mar 9, 2021Malavika Balachandran Tadeusz

Summary
Introduced the ability to manage Cloudflare Gateway HTTP firewall rules based on pre-defined 'Applications' (collections of hostnames for specific cloud services like Salesforce) and 'App Types' (collections of applications like File Sharing). This significantly simplifies policy creation by allowing administrators to block or allow entire applications with a single rule, rather than manually managing hundreds of hostnames. Cloudflare maintains and updates these application collections.
