Overview
Cloudflare Zero Trust is a security product suite from Cloudflare, Inc., sold as part of the broader Cloudflare One SASE platform. It replaces traditional VPN-based network access with identity-aware, per-application access controls enforced across Cloudflare's global network of 300+ cities.
The suite is distinct from Cloudflare's core CDN/DNS products, focusing specifically on securing remote and hybrid workforce access to internal applications, SaaS tools, and the public internet.
Key Features
Cloudflare Zero Trust combines Zero Trust Network Access (Access), a Secure Web Gateway, CASB, and DLP in one dashboard, with Remote Browser Isolation and email security available on higher tiers. Access is enforced through the Cloudflare One Client, a device agent for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android that also supports device posture checks such as disk encryption and OS version.
Pricing
Cloudflare Zero Trust offers a Free plan for up to 50 users, a Pay-as-you-go plan at $7/user/month (billed annually) with no user cap, and a custom-priced Enterprise plan that adds expanded CASB, custom DLP, Remote Browser Isolation, and dedicated egress IPs.
Key Features
Zero Trust Network Access (Access) — Grants identity-verified, per-application access to internal resources instead of full-network VPN access.
Secure Web Gateway — DNS, HTTP, and network-layer filtering to enforce web access policies.
CASB — Monitors SaaS application usage to detect shadow IT and misconfigurations.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) — Policies that detect and block exfiltration of sensitive data.
Remote Browser Isolation — Isolates risky web browsing sessions in the cloud rather than on the local device (Enterprise tier).
Cloudflare One Client — Cross-platform device agent (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) that enforces policies and checks device posture.
Cloudflare One SASE integration — Combines Zero Trust security services with network services like Magic WAN and Magic Firewall.
