Introducing Cloudflare Orbit: A Private Network for IoT Devices

What this post added

Introduced Cloudflare Orbit, a private network for IoT devices that acts as a security shield at the edge. Orbit allows IoT companies to apply security logic and firewall rules to protect devices from exploits, even if they are unpatched. This is achieved by filtering malicious requests before they reach the device. Additionally, Orbit introduces TLS Client Authentication handled at the edge, which validates client certificates from IoT devices, ensuring only authorized devices can communicate with IoT infrastructure.
