CrowdStrike and Cloudflare announced a new integration focused on zero-trust access.
Cloudflare's Cloudflare One secure access service edge (SASE) service now touts an out-of-the-box zero-trust capability from CrowdStrike's Falcon suite via the CrowdStrike Content Library.
The integration is designed for users of Falcon’s Next-Gen SIEM security information and event management (SIEM) tool or its Insight XDR extended detection and response (XDR) offering. The function incorporates signals on policies, access, apps, and groups to automate security operations center (SOC) workflows.
The partnership touted Falcon’s capabilities in security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), with a drag-and-drop editor tool bringing together Cloudflare actions with signals from CrowdStrike or other third-party vendors to ensure zero-trust access.
The convergence is driven by webhook and API integrations between the Cloudflare SASE platform and Falcon Fusion SOAR; if, for example, an endpoint compromise is detected by the CrowdStrike solution, a workflow is triggered to Cloudflare’s API, enforcing step-up authentication or session revocation across software-as-a-service (SaaS), email access, or private applications, as enabled via Cloudflare’s Access tool.
Similarly, if Cloudflare detects anomalous network behavior, notice is sent to CrowdStrike’s SOAR upon which the device is isolated and remediation playbooks are deployed.
The integration was announced at CrowdStrike's Fal.Con 2025 event, at which an integration with SASE vendor Versa was also unveiled, alongside partnerships with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and social media giant Meta.
CrowdStrike also recently released its first identity solution covering network identities of human users, machine accounts, and AI agents. The Texas-based firm also expanded its Zscaler partnership to further develop its security operations (SecOps) detail, building on ZTA capabilities.
Cloudflare, meanwhile, launched zero trust updates last month to combat the threat of shadow AI.
According to Gartner, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) is seeing strong adoption among large and mid-market organizations, and the firm forecasts 10% of large enterprises will have a mature and measurable zero-trust program by 2026.
