Introducing Cloudflare Access: Like BeyondCorp, But You Don’t Have To Be A Google Employee To Use It

What this post added

Introduced Cloudflare Access, a perimeter-less access control solution for cloud and on-premise applications. Access acts as a reverse proxy that enforces access control by ensuring every request is authenticated (integrating with identity providers like Google, Azure AD, Okta, and supporting TLS with client authentication), authorized (configuring access policies for groups and users), and encrypted (leveraging HTTPS instead of VPN). Features include easy policy changes, session duration modification, session revocation, and centralized logging. It can be paired with Argo and Argo Tunnel for enhanced performance and security, and integrated with the Web Application Firewall for legacy application protection.
