Cloudflare is addressing the growing need for robust cyber security in the face of emerging technologies and cyber threats, particularly concerning quantum computing. They've announced that organizations can now protect their sensitive corporate network traffic against potential quantum threats through their Zero Trust platform. This allows customers to tunnel corporate network traffic through Cloudflare's Zero Trust platform using post-quantum cryptography, effectively upgrading network security without requiring customers to manage the complex cryptographic updates themselves.

Recent breakthroughs in quantum computing highlight the vulnerability of conventional cryptography, and Cloudflare has been at the forefront of developing and implementing post-quantum cryptography since 2017. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has also set a timeline to phase out RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) by 2035, emphasizing the urgency of this transition. Cloudflare reports that over 35% of the non-bot HTTPS traffic that touches Cloudflare today is post-quantum secure, and users of major browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox already benefit from this enhanced security.
