Infinitely extensible Access policies

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced External Evaluation rules for its Access policies, allowing users to build infinitely customizable policies by calling any API during the evaluation of an Access policy. This feature enables customers to check any signal they require without direct support in Access policies. The new capability is designed to provide more control and customizability in defining Zero Trust security policies. Examples of potential uses include integrating with endpoint protection tools, checking IP addresses against external threat feeds, and calling industry-specific user registries.
