You’ve probably heard about XDR, but do you know ITDR? ITDR is short for identity threat detection and response, a new class of capabilities designed to protect identities. Zero Trust is an information security model that denies access to applications and data by default. ITDR and zero trust are two important models that organizations must get familiar with to embrace an identity-first security approach.

How we think about Zero Trust Performance

Cloudflare has done several deep dives into Zero Trust performance in 2023 alone: one in January, one in March, and one for Speed Week. In each of them, we outline a series of tests we perform and then show that we’re the fastest. While some may think that this is a marketing stunt, it’s not: the tests we devised aren’t necessarily built to make us look the best, our network makes us look the best when we run the tests.

Spotlight on Zero Trust: We're fastest and here's the proof

In January and in March we posted blogs outlining how Cloudflare performed against others in Zero Trust. The conclusion in both cases was that Cloudflare was faster than Zscaler and Netskope in a variety of Zero Trust scenarios. For Speed Week, we’re bringing back these tests and upping the ante: we’re testing more providers against more public Internet endpoints in more regions than we have in the past.

How MSPs Can Overcome Common Zero Trust Obstacles
