Cloudflare Access

Secure access to internal applications without a VPN

Building a fence around your internal applications no longer works for your global team. Cloudflare Access replaces corporate VPN clients by putting Cloudflare’s global edge network in front of your internal applications.

teams access one dash

One dashboard. All of your internal apps

A single pane of glass to secure your team’s applications.

  • Secure on-premise applications with SSO in hours, not months
  • Standardize access controls across on-prem, private, and public cloud resources
  • Manage access to internal apps on a per-user and per-application basis
teams access zero trust 1

Zero Trust. 100% Coverage

Extend zero trust security to private applications.

  • Minimize exposed application surface and protect your assets from attack
  • Implement a software-defined security perimeter without code changes
  • Establish discrete perimeters of protection around key applications

POLITICO needed a way to control access to specific critical resources without the risk and overhead of connecting through a private corporate network. Cloudflare Access aligns with how and where our team works, while helping us embrace a Zero Trust security model, where every request to every app is evaluated for user identity - and no VPN is required.
Michael Irwin
Senior Director, Technology Operations and Cybersecurity
When Peter Hahn transitioned to working remotely, we found that our VPN was causing serious performance issues. Deploying Cloudflare Access in front of the first batch of our internal tools resulted in such a huge increase in performance, reliability and convenience for the whole team that we are gradually transitioning all tools to use Access as soon as possible. Getting started took us only a few minutes.
Francisc Rusznyak
Head of Web-Development, E-Commerce
With Cloudflare, Roman can evaluate every request made to internal applications for permission and identity, while also improving speed and user experience.
Ricky Lindenhovius
Engineering Director, Site Reliability Engineering
We were already happy with Cloudflare Access before COVID-19, and it ended up being a big save when our team had to work remotely. Because our employees didn’t have to struggle with apps that weren’t designed for remote access, our platform kept running smoothly, and our customer base experienced no interruptions in support.
Sybren van Wijk
Technical Product Owner
Our users range from hardcore techies to laypeople. Ensuring security without making things too hard for non-technical users is challenging. Our information security manager loves how Access balances security and usability.
James Deane
Web Development Manager
Cloudflare Access saved us from having to develop our own Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. We don’t have to build user permission functions into the apps that Access protects. We went all in; everyone in the company has a seat.
Jim Tyrell
Head of Infrastructure

How it works

teams access oldway diagram

Legacy approach to internal security

Put all internal applications behind on-premise hardware, and then force all your users through a VPN to secure your applications and their traffic. As more of the world shifts to mobile and internal applications move to the cloud, this model breaks.

Cloudflare for Teams

Expand your perimeter to Cloudflare’s edge network, effectively creating a private network for all your devices, and all your internal applications — whether on premise, hybrid, or in the cloud.
