Cloudflare has launched Cloudflare Mesh, a private networking service that integrates multicloud environments into a single security network, The New Stack reported on April 14.
Cloudflare Mesh supports secure connections between internal resources such as servers, databases and development tool environments and external systems without opening company firewall ports. It encrypts all connection points so internal infrastructure is not exposed to the public internet.
Cloudflare introduced Cloudflare Mesh with network access challenges for AI agents in mind. The company said AI agents need access to corporate internal databases, APIs and staging environments, but existing VPNs and manual tunneling methods are slow and risky.
Christian Reilly (크리스천 라일리), field chief technology officer for Cloudflare in the EMEA region, said, “Many teams now have to choose between restricting agent access or exposing internal infrastructure to the public internet.”
Cloudflare Mesh assigns each agent a unique identity, enabling security teams to set granular access policies. For example, a coding agent can be allowed to read a staging database but barred from accessing financial data in a production environment.
Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince (매튜 프린스) said, “Agents are constrained by networking models designed around humans,” adding, “Cloudflare Mesh provides secure connections between agents and infrastructure.”
