MPLS to Zero Trust in 30 days

What's this blog post about?

Employees returning to the office are experiencing slower corporate networks compared to their home internet due to outdated line speeds and security requirements. Many MPLS sites still use old 1.5 Mbps circuits, highlighting the inability of current MPLS-based networks to support a shift from centralized applications to distributed SaaS and hybrid multi-cloud environments. Cloudflare Magic WAN simplifies legacy WAN architectures by enabling customers to use its global network for interconnectivity between branch offices, data centers, and public cloud services. It includes Zero Trust security services that can be enabled as needed, improve performance, and can be managed through a single dashboard. The ultimate goal for many organizations is to move their network and security architecture from a castle & moat model to a Zero Trust model where there's no longer a hard boundary between "private" and "public" networks. Cloudflare Magic WAN enables this transition by building in security natively into the network.
