Company expands quantum‑safe protection across Zero Trust, WAN, and cloud connectivity at no added cost
Cloudflare today announced a breakthrough in global cybersecurity, becoming the first and only Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform to fully support modern post‑quantum (PQ) encryption standards across every major network configuration. With this update, the Cloudflare One platform now offers a quantum‑safe security foundation spanning Zero Trust access, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), WAN‑as‑a‑Service, and IPsec providing organizations an immediate path to protect sensitive data from future quantum‑enabled threats.
The milestone comes as the cybersecurity landscape confronts a growing threat: adversaries collecting encrypted data today in “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, intending to exploit quantum computing breakthroughs in the near future. With NIST urging organizations worldwide to transition to quantum‑safe cryptography by 2030, Cloudflare’s announcement provides a timely, fully integrated solution that eliminates the need for hardware changes or complex network redesigns.
Cloudflare first introduced quantum‑safe web and Zero Trust protection in 2025, launching the industry’s first cloud‑native post‑quantum Secure Web Gateway. Today’s announcement completes the transition by adding PQ‑secured WAN connectivity, including Cloudflare IPsec tunnels and the Cloudflare One Appliance closing one of the biggest remaining gaps in enterprise network protection.
“Securing the Internet against future threats shouldn’t be a complex burden,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co‑founder of Cloudflare. “By bringing post‑quantum protection to our entire SASE platform, we’re making quantum‑safe security the default no hardware upgrades, no complex configurations, and no added cost.”
The upgraded Cloudflare IPsec now delivers:
- High‑availability routing: traffic automatically reroutes to the healthiest Cloudflare data center.
- Protection against quantum‑harvest attacks: PQ‑encrypted tunnels shield today’s data from tomorrow’s decryption capabilities.
- Vendor‑agnostic interoperability: built on open Internet standards for seamless cross‑platform integration.
The launch is especially significant for sectors facing mounting regulatory and operational scrutiny including energy, transportation, healthcare, financial services and government where quantum‑era vulnerabilities could threaten both national security and critical infrastructure.
Cloudflare’s quantum‑safe SASE platform is available globally starting today.
