What happened
We're honored to announce that Cloudflare is the only vendor that has been recognized as a Visionary in both the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms and the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge reports. To us, this validates our architectural choices and, more importantly, reflects the trust our customers place in us to navigate an increasingly complex security landscape.
Practical impact for readers
To every customer who shared feedback with Gartner, discussed your roadmap challenges with our team, and pushed us to build better solutions: thank you. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us. In security, the real value is whether the team becomes measurably safer, not whether another settings screen has been added. The people who should read carefully are system admins, shop owners, content teams, and anyone holding customer data or operational accounts.
Details worth verifying
The SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and SSE (Security Service Edge) markets are at an inflection point. Many organizations started with the SSE as the “security half” of SASE to tackle their remote work challenges during the pandemic. More recently, SASE has grown more prominent given the rise in return-to-office work mandates. Now, as AI agents, post-quantum threats, and the sprawl of shadow apps reshape enterprise security, organizations need platforms that can adapt at the speed of change, not vendors locked into yesterday's architecture. That’s exactly where Cloudflare One, our agile SASE platform, comes in.
Who should act or wait
It’s no secret that most SASE vendors haven't adapted to the architectural realities of modern enterprises. In fact, when customers migrate to Cloudflare, we hear some of the exact same challenges time and time again:. In security, the next follow-up is patch speed, real adoption, and whether teams actually keep the safer behavior in place. That is why the useful reading move is not to stop at the headline, but to compare the promise, the workflow change, and the likely cost before deciding anything.
What is still unclear
Fragmented architectures: When SASE platforms are stitched together through mergers and acquisitions, deploying use cases across multiple products becomes a massive headache. Cloudflare mitigates these implementation nightmares and security gaps with a connectivity cloud approach: one global network that connects and protects your workforce, AI agents, and infrastructure.
