Cloudflare launches comprehensive suite for cyber risk management

Cloudflare, the connectivity cloud company, has launched Cloudflare for Unified Risk Posture. This reportedly transformative suite of risk management solutions has been designed to streamline the processes involved in identifying, evaluating and mitigating cyber threats, eliminating manual steps and enabling a wider comprehension of cyber risks through a single platform. Through the use of Cloudflare's comprehensive security suite, drawing on Secure Access Service Edge features and high-level partnerships with firms such as CrowdStrike, customers can now gain greater insight into potential cybersecurity threats.

The launch of Cloudflare for Unified Risk Posture is in response to the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. The increasing sophistication of technology and the emergence of both internal and external threats have created a pressing need for a more comprehensive and effective risk management solution. As standalone security tools limit the capacity to provide a complete picture of the risks, organisations can no longer rely on them to maintain security. The development of the Unified Risk Posture suite addresses this issue by offering an all-encompassing approach to cybersecurity.

Co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince, emphasises the magnitude of the threats that are evolving, noting that Cloudflare has had to deal with some of the most sizable and intricate online threats the Internet has seen in recent times. Prince goes on to state, "The security landscape is complex enough, organisations need to have a clear view of all of the threats and risks inside and outside of their environments. Cloudflare Unified Risk Posture is one of the only tools that equips companies to continuously identify and address threats at the breakneck speed required to stay safe against an ever-evolving threat landscape."

Built on Cloudflare's global network, Cloudflare for Unified Risk Posture offers a simplified approach to comprehensive risk management. It enables organisations to customise policies based on unique risk scores, providing a more holistic view of the threat landscape. It incorporates features such as machine learning to identify potential risks and, in conjunction with partner platforms, allows organisations to conduct more in-depth analysis of potential threats. Additionally, Cloudflare's suite provides the ability to enact risk controls across an entire network on a global scale.

Anthony Moisant, SVP, Chief Information Officer and Chief Security Officer at Indeed, praises the platform's comprehensive capabilities. Moisant stated, "Cloudflare is helping us mitigate risk more effectively with less effort and simplifies how we deliver Zero Trust across my organisation."

Overall, the launch of Cloudflare for Unified Risk Posture is an innovative response to the growing challenges in the cybersecurity landscape. By providing a comprehensive solution that addresses all elements of the threat landscape, it offers organisations a more efficient and effective approach to cyber risk management.
