Cloudflare Inc. on Tuesday said it has become the first Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform provider to support modern post-quantum encryption standards across its entire network.
The company said its Cloudflare One platform now integrates post-quantum cryptography across major network configurations, including Zero Trust access and wide-area networking (WAN) services. The update is aimed at helping organisations transition to new cryptographic standards amid emerging quantum computing threats.
Quantum computers, once fully developed, are expected to break traditional encryption methods currently used to secure banking, healthcare and other sensitive data. The US-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has advised organisations to upgrade cryptographic algorithms by 2030 to address future quantum risks.
Cloudflare said threat actors are already engaging in so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, collecting encrypted data that could be decrypted once quantum computing becomes viable.
In 2025, the company introduced a cloud-native post-quantum Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust solution. With the latest announcement, it has extended post-quantum support to IPsec and its network appliance offerings, completing what it described as a fully quantum-safe SASE platform.
Matthew Prince, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Cloudflare, said the company has integrated post-quantum standards into its network infrastructure since 2017 and is offering the upgraded protection without additional cost or hardware changes.
Cloudflare said its IPsec implementation supports high-availability routing, industry interoperability and protection against future quantum-based decryption threats.
The quantum-safe SASE platform is available globally, the company said.
