Cloudflare Gateway
Cloudflare Gateway is a cloud-based secure web gateway (SWG) and firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) that provides security and control for internet access. It filters web traffic, blocks threats, and enforces policies to protect users and data from malware, phishing, and other online risks. It integrates with Cloudflare's global network to offer fast, scalable security without on-premises hardware.
Developers should use Cloudflare Gateway when securing remote or distributed teams, as it provides centralized security management for internet access across devices and locations. It's ideal for organizations needing to enforce security policies, block malicious content, and protect against data loss without deploying physical appliances. Use cases include securing remote workforces, filtering web traffic for compliance, and integrating with zero-trust architectures.
