Cloudflare unveils security network mesh for AI agents, aiming to move beyond VPN limits
Cloudflare has launched Cloudflare Mesh, a private networking service that integrates multicloud environments into a single security network, The New Stack reported. The service connects internal resources such as servers, databases and development tools to external systems without opening firewall ports, while encrypting all connection points to avoid exposing infrastructure on the public internet. Cloudflare said existing VPNs and manual tunnels are slow and risky for AI agent access needs.
