Cloudflare shows flair with new products for mobile and IoT security.

Cloudflare holds the view that while corporate organizations have made moves to deploy zero-trust security solutions at the software level of their desktops, mobile devices have not received similar attention.

A recent report by Fortune Business Insights holds that the global IoT market is projected to reach $2.46 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate of 26.4%. Cloudflare recounts that due to the growing numbers of IoT devices, it has been defending these devices against DDoS attacks and botnets such as Meris and Miral for a couple of years.

Although the company has recorded successful defenses against these threat actors on IoT devices, it still feels the need to provide an IoT platform where manufacturers of IoT devices can tap into Cloudflare's IoT security architecture.

"Cloudflare's IoT Platform will build in support for provisioning cellular connectivity at scale. We'll support ordering, provisioning and managing cellular connectivity for your devices. Every packet that leaves each IoT device can be inspected, approved or rejected by policies you create before it reaches the internet, your cloud infrastructure or your other devices. Emerging standards like IoT SAFE will also allow us to use the SIM card as a root-of-trust, storing device secrets securely on the device, whilst raising the bar to compromise."
