Beyond the blank slate: how Cloudflare accelerates your Zero Trust journey

In the world of cybersecurity, "starting from scratch" is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have a clean slate; on the other, you face a mountain of configurations, best practices, and potential "gotchas."

While Cloudflare One has been often cited as one of the easiest-to-use SASE platforms, there is no magic without proper configuration. And while Cloudflare has been striving to simplify complex networking concepts by creating products such as Cloudflare WAN, Magic Transit, and Cloudflare Network Firewall, which simplify and reduce the typical complexity associated with deploying comparable functions from other vendors, the breadth of capabilities provided by Cloudflare One require creation of best-practice policies and templates to achieve the most optimal outcomes.

To make it easy to start taking advantage of Cloudflare’s powerful SASE platform, we have developed a method that ensures customers get the right configuration quickly and easily. We call it Project Helix. 

In this post, we’ll dig into the problem of getting the correct customization, and how we built Project Helix to make it simple. That means our customers have access to the most powerful SASE platform out there — and the easiest to onboard.
