Cloudflare, Inc., the leading connectivity cloud company, is introducing powerful new capabilities for Cloudflare One, its Zero Trust platform, designed to help organizations securely adopt, build, and deploy emerging generative AI applications.
With these new features, Cloudflare gives customers the ability to automatically understand, analyze, and set controls on how generative AI is used throughout their organization—enhancing the productivity and innovation of their teams without sacrificing security or privacy standards, according to the company.
“Cloudflare is the best place to help any business roll out AI securely. We are the only company today that can offer the security of a Zero Trust platform with a full set of AI and inference development products—all backed with the scale of a global network,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder at Cloudflare. “The world’s most innovative companies want to pull the AI lever to move, build, and scale fast, without sacrificing security. We are in a unique position to help power that innovation–and help bring AI to all businesses safely.”
Cloudflare is introducing AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) into its Zero Trust platform to allow organizations to safeguard against a range of potential threats posed by the wide adoption of AI tools, enabling businesses to move faster with the confidence that AI is being used safely by all teams, the company said.
Now, with the availability of all features, security teams will be able to:
- Discover how employees are using AI: With Cloudflare’s new Shadow AI Report, security teams can get instant insights from their traffic to gain a clear, data-driven picture of their organization's AI usage.
- Protect against Shadow AI: Cloudflare Gateway makes it easy to automatically enforce AI policies at the edge of Cloudflare’s network, ensuring consistent security for every employee, no matter where they work.
- Safeguard sensitive data without fully restricting AI usage: AI Prompt Protection allows security teams to identify potentially dangerous or risky employee interactions with AI models, and flag those prompts and responses. Policies can now be enforced inline at the prompt level to mitigate risk early on, and warn the employee about, or block them from, submitting sensitive data—such as source code—being entered into an untrusted AI provider.
- Gain visibility of AI model interactions with tools outside the business: Zero Trust MCP Server Control consolidates all MCP tool calls—a request from an AI model or application to a server to execute a specific task—into a single dashboard. This visibility ultimately allows all MCP traffic, regardless of origin, to be routed through Cloudflare for increased control and access management.
