Summary

Cloudflare has been recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms, reflecting its innovative approach to connecting and securing networks through its expansive global platform, Cloudflare One. This recognition highlights Cloudflare's strategy of integrating networking and security services into a unified, cloud-based platform that provides end-to-end visibility and control, supported by one of the world's most extensive and well-connected networks. Cloudflare's SASE platform aims to simplify infrastructure, enhance security, and improve connectivity through services like Magic WAN, Cloudflare Access, and Cloudflare Gateway, addressing modern enterprise needs such as Zero Trust and secure cloud access. The platform's design prioritizes low latency and efficient service delivery by providing full compute capabilities in every data center and optimizing connection routes. As Cloudflare continues to develop its capabilities, including the integration of AI technologies, it seeks to offer comprehensive solutions that extend beyond traditional SASE definitions, addressing broader security concerns like phishing and DDoS attacks while supporting multi-cloud connectivity and AI-powered applications.
