Cloudflare helps Conrad Electronic deliver
Zero Trust and cut networking costs
Conrad Electronic was too reliant on risky VPN connectivity and labor-intensive security services. In response, they adopted Cloudflare’s Zero Trust security services and used it plus Terraform to automate security workflows.
Now, they’ve dumped 1000 expensive VPN licenses and are responding to threats much faster than before.

“Everything is easier with [Cloudflare]. All internal and external resources that have an account with our identity provider can quickly connect to specific systems using a single sign-on. Not having to maintain 1,000 VPN profiles improves our security and saves us time and money.”
