Cloudflare, Inc., the global leader in connectivity cloud solutions, has unveiled advanced capabilities for its Cloudflare One Zero Trust platform. These new enhancements aim to help organizations securely adopt, build, and deploy generative AI applications while maintaining high standards of privacy and security. With these updates, Cloudflare empowers businesses to automatically detect, analyze, and regulate how AI is being used across their teams boosting innovation and productivity without compromising safety.
Today, employees across departments from finance and marketing to engineering and design are increasingly relying on generative AI to accelerate workflows, streamline routine tasks, and develop cutting-edge applications. However, this rapid adoption often happens without sufficient oversight. For instance, staff might unknowingly paste confidential data into public AI chatbots, or developers may launch AI-driven applications without consulting their security teams. These risks highlight the urgent need for businesses to understand and manage AI usage effectively.
