Cloudflare Plans to Install Devices Directly in over 1,000 of the World’s Busiest Office Complexes and Apartment Buildings in Order to Secure and Network Their Networks
Cloudflare, Inc.(NET), the security, performance, and reliability company that helps create a better Internet, announced that it has expanded its network to iconic buildings such as the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, the Willis Tower in Chicago, John Hancock Tower in Boston and 30 Hudson Yards, 4 Times Square & 520 Madison in New York, as well as planned further expansion to thousands of other office buildings and apartment buildings worldwide. This strong expansion will enable companies to easily connect to the Cloudflare network from offices and co-working spaces instead of relying on expensive, inflexible hardware solutions. Now companies have an additional option to network with the Cloudflare One-Suite of SASE security solutions,

” Nobody knows exactly what the future of work will be for individual companies, but we know it will be more flexible,” said Matthew Prince, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloudflare. “ Organizations shouldn’t have to sacrifice security to help their employees be productive, whether they’re in the office, at home, or on the go. A zero trust solution is the only way companies can be prepared for all situations. Successful companies need the most powerful, most reliable and most secure connectivity, no matter where they operate. “
Since the dawn of the modern Internet, companies have maintained expensive and hardware-intensive office networks. Never before has that investment paid off less than the COVID-19 pandemic – and the hybrid future of work will only make the high costs of maintaining and securing this outdated infrastructure worse.
In addition, these existing networks are not designed to protect employees across all of their devices, networks, applications and workplaces. With a direct connection to the Cloudflare network, companies save the time and cost of identifying, managing and securing their own hardware. This expansion of the Cloudflare network makes it easier for companies of all sizes to use the solutions for Zero Trust and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) to network and protect employees regardless of their place of work.
“ During the entire pandemic, we supported our 12,000+ employees in working safely and without disruption, both from home and from our offices. Cloudflare’s solutions have been instrumental in this, and we look forward to continuing to work on efficient, high-performance solutions, “said Mark Papermaster, chief technology officer and executive vice president, technology and engineering, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

” We see great potential in the way Cloudflare brings the network directly to our office locations,” said Aaron Dearinger, Edge Architect at Garmin International. “ It is crucial that we enable our employees to work productively and safely. This will make it much easier for us to do this in the future, no matter where our teams are working from – and at the same time our network costs will be reduced. “
“ Just a few years ago, the barrier to entry for building world-class digital buildings would have been prohibitive. Fortunately, this is where the cloud and utility-based computing come into play, ”said Danny Stubbings, VP of Technology Development & Building Digitization at Oxford Properties. ” The nice thing about this model is that it gives us a lot more freedom of experimentation to find the areas that really add value to our company and our customers.”
