Case Study: a Fortune 500 telecommunications provider secures hybrid workers and accelerates cloud migration with Cloudflare Zero Trust

Fortune 500 Telecommunications Provider secures 100,000 hybrid workers with Cloudflare

A Fortune 500 telecommunications provider faced the challenge of securing its over 100,000 hybrid workers while modernizing its complex legacy IT infrastructure. Maintaining on-premise systems and juggling disparate tools like Cisco Umbrella was untenable, slowing down their Zero Trust security adoption and cloud migration ambitions. They turned to vendor Cloudflare to consolidate these security services onto a single platform.

Cloudflare implemented its Zero Trust platform, specifically using its Access and Gateway products, to provide secure application and internet access. This solution replaced legacy VPNs and Cisco Umbrella, simplifying policy building and offering faster, more consistent enforcement across the global workforce. The results included streamlined administrative oversight, simplified SOC incident response, and a strong foundation for the company's ongoing cloud migration.
