Introducing post-quantum Cloudflare Tunnel

What's this blog post about?

The migration to post-quantum cryptography is expected to be a major theme in IT for the next decade. This shift will require hardware and software updates to ensure data protection against quantum computers, as any encrypted data captured today can potentially be broken by future quantum computers. Cloudflare Tunnel aims to simplify this transition with its Post-Quantum Cloudflare Tunnel feature, which allows users to benefit from post-quantum secure connections without upgrading their applications. The company has made significant progress in making post-quantum tunnels the default option, but there is still work to be done before it becomes a standard feature.
