In recent years, a common trend has emerged in the conversations between Cloudflare and its customers, where enterprise clients are gradually losing control over their digital environments. They express concerns that adopting new functionalities might impact interoperability, and even simple changes can consume time, effort, and resources. These apprehensions are challenges faced by many organizations.

 

The reasons for losing control are summarized, including the breadth of the technical landscape, isolation of IT and security teams, makeshift solutions, and complex dependencies. The pace of change in IT and security is accelerating, leading to daunting complexities, ranging from team and infrastructure dispersion to connecting multi-cloud environments and various SaaS applications. The technical landscape overseen by IT and security teams is broader than ever before, presenting greater challenges.

 

The Global Connected Cloud introduces a new approach to address these challenges!
