As generative AI becomes integral to business operations, risks like accidental data leaks or unapproved AI app usage (Shadow AI) are rising. “Cloudflare is the best place to help any business roll out AI securely,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare. The new features empower organizations to monitor and control AI usage, ensuring compliance and data protection across distributed teams.
Cloudflare’s AI-SPM integrates into its Zero Trust platform to mitigate AI-related threats. Key features include:
Shadow AI Report: Delivers real-time insights into AI app usage, identifying specific applications and users for a data-driven view of organizational activity.
AI Prompt Protection: Detects risky prompts and responses, enabling policies to warn or block employees from submitting sensitive data, such as source code, to untrusted AI providers.
Cloudflare Gateway: Automatically enforces AI policies at the network edge, allowing security teams to block unapproved apps or limit data uploads, ensuring consistent protection globally.
Zero Trust MCP Server Control: Consolidates Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls into a single dashboard, routing traffic through Cloudflare for enhanced control and user-level policy enforcement.
These tools allow businesses to embrace AI without sacrificing security. By automating policy enforcement and providing granular visibility, Cloudflare One supports teams in finance, marketing, engineering, and design to use AI efficiently while safeguarding sensitive data. The platform’s global network ensures scalability and consistent security for remote and hybrid workforces.
Cloudflare’s innovations address the projected 30% of enterprises adopting AI by 2026, per industry estimates, by mitigating risks like data leaks and Shadow AI. The centralized platform simplifies security management, enabling organizations to innovate faster while maintaining compliance with privacy standards.
Cloudflare’s new Zero Trust tools position it as a leader in secure AI adoption, offering a comprehensive solution to monitor, protect, and manage AI usage at scale. By integrating AI-SPM into its global network, Cloudflare empowers businesses to drive innovation safely and efficiently.
