Cloudflare’s mandatory authentication and independent MFA protect organizations by ensuring continuous enforcement, from the moment a machine boots until sensitive resources are accessed.
AI Summary
Cloudflare introduced two new tools to modernize remote access and eliminate network security "dark corners" - mandatory authentication and independent multi-factor authentication (MFA). Mandatory authentication enables a user to access the internet only after authenticating with the Cloudflare One Client, closing the gap between installation and enforcement. Cloudflare's independent MFA adds an additional layer of verification, remaining separate from the primary identity provider (IdP) to prevent session hijacking and social engineering.
