Problem ### Complexity is the enemy of security Legacy SASE architectures have become the new technical debt. First-generation SASE promised simplicity but delivered a patchwork of proxies and inconsistent policies. As AI accelerates data movement, you need an architecture unified by design — not by acquisitions. Solution ### Truly unified SASE The "platform" promise, finally delivered. One control plane, data plane, and infrastructure layer. Cloudflare One eliminates the friction of legacy security and networking with a platform that's easier to deploy and built to last.

Cloudflare One is an agile, unified SASE platform designed to connect and protect an organization's workforce, AI agents, and infrastructure. It delivers a single control plane, data plane, and infrastructure layer to eliminate the friction and technical debt of legacy security and networking. ###### What are the primary networking and security services included? Cloudflare One converges core SASE services such as zero trust network access (ZTNA), secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), network-as-a-service (NaaS), and firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS). It also includes remote browser isolation (RBI), data loss prevention (DLP), email security, and digital experience monitoring (DEM). ###### How does Cloudflare's SASE architecture differ from first-generation solutions? First-generation SASE solutions often deliver a patchwork of proxies or inconsistent policies based on stitched-together acquisitions. Cloudflare One is unified by design on a global connectivity cloud, offering a composable and programmable architecture that allows organizations to roll out security and networking capabilities in hours instead of months. ###### How can Cloudflare One help organizations safely adopt generative AI? The platform provides deep visibility and control over GenAI usage and helps manage shadow AI by discovering unsanctioned tools. It is the first SASE platform to secure connections to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and can analyze the intent of AI prompts to block sensitive corporate data from leaking into public models. ###### How does Cloudflare One enable coffee shop networking? Cloudflare One replaces the need for expensive MPLS contracts and complex hardware by shifting the heavy lifting to the cloud. This "light branch, heavy cloud" SASE model allows any location to have the same level of consistent connectivity and security, while routing traffic through Cloudflare's global network. ###### In what ways can Cloudflare's SASE platform modernize remote access? Cloudflare One replaces clunky, insecure VPNs with identity-first, quantum-safe access to internal applications. This prevents threats from spreading laterally through granular zero trust rules and allows organizations to grant frictionless access to contractors and BYOD employees in minutes. ###### How does Cloudflare One address email-based threats? Cloudflare One uses AI-powered email security to stop phishing, impersonation, malware, and business email compromise (BEC). These protections can be extended by adding native SASE controls, such as isolating risky web links found in emails. ###### How does the platform support global scale and performance? Cloudflare delivers full SASE services from over 300 cities around the world. This global footprint protects approximately 20% of the web and secures roughly 80% of the top generative AI companies, providing unmatched threat intelligence and zero-day visibility. ## Cloudflare powers 1 in 5 sites on the Internet Trusted by the teams you trust.
