In today's rapidly evolving cloud landscape, managing permissions and ensuring robust security controls are essential for organizations utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is crucial in managing permissions to access AWS resources.

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.

What is it: Agentless architecture refers to platforms and services that are built to run as cloud-native applications. They require no installation, patching, or other forms of long term upkeep on the part of a user. Why it matters: Agentless applications, especially agentless security applications have a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), in terms of man-hours saved in deployment, maintenance, and overhead.
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.
