Securing the Internet of Things

This post announces Cloudflare's new IoT Platform, which aims to secure IoT devices by integrating cellular connectivity provisioning, policy-based packet inspection, and Zero Trust security controls. It leverages existing Cloudflare products like API Shield, Workers, Gateway, and Pub/Sub, and introduces new capabilities for device management, analytics, and anomaly detection. The platform will allow for granular control over device network access, locking devices to specific geographies or IMEIs, and offloading compute to Cloudflare Workers to reduce on-device complexity and cost. It also highlights the use of emerging standards like IoT SAFE for secure credential storage on SIM cards.
