Cloudflare announces Zero Trust channel partner program
Cloudflare this week announced the new Cloudflare One Partner Program, which presents a new way for the channel to integrate and extend Cloudflare One, a service that provides a comprehensive Zero Trust solution that is built natively into Cloudflare’s global network spanning more than 270 cities in over 100 countries. It offers direct paths for partners from full enablement to robust incentives.
The program enables partners to:

- Deliver comprehensive solutions: Cloudflare’s Zero Trust solution encompasses integrated products including ZTNA, Secure Web Gateway, CASB, DLP, Browser Isolation, IoT Security, and now Cloud Email Security.
- Automatically protect users from phishing attacks: By combining leading phishing protection from Cloudflare’s recent acquisition of Area 1 Security with Cloudflare’s Browser Isolation, malicious links will automatically be quarantined in a remote browser session.
- Secure every connection with Zero Trust controls while accelerating users and services: Whether users are connecting to internal resources, the Internet, or are simply opening emails, Cloudflare’s global network allows Zero Trust filtering to be applied to everything, without slowing them down.

Ermetic automates Just-in-Time cloud access and entitlement management for developers
Cloud infrastructure security company Ermetic has announced that the Ermetic Platform now enables organizations to automate the process of granting developers and DevOps teams “Just in Time” (JIT) access to cloud infrastructure environments. These new capabilities enable users to request, on a self-service basis, escalation of privileges for a limited time that is customized for their roles and the functions they must perform.
Capabilities include:
- Policy definition: enables organizations to define who can access an environment, what approvals are required, and what entitlements are permitted.
- Self-service workflows: a streamlined interface enables developers to easily request access, notify approvers and quickly gain authorized access to required resources.
- Automated access control: once access is authorized, Ermetic automatically grants access to the approved resources for the pre-defined period of time, and terminates access and revokes permissions once the window has expired.
- Auditing and governance: enables security teams to maintain an audit trail and investigate access activity, including who accessed what and when, who elevated which permissions and when, what the justification was, who the approver was, etc.
The Ermetic Platform with JIT access is available immediately from Ermetic and its business partners worldwide.
