Cloudflare acquires Kivera to add simple, preventive cloud security to Cloudflare One

Cloudflare announced the acquisition of Kivera to integrate preventive, inline cloud app controls into Cloudflare One, extending its SASE platform to proactively enforce secure cloud configurations and reduce misconfigurations before deployment. The post highlights the rising threats from cloud misconfigurations, outlines common exploitation vectors (e.g., exposed access keys, excessive permissions, inadequate segmentation), and positions the combined solution as a unified, DevOps-friendly approach that complements CSPM/CNAPP tools with single-pass inspection and improved compliance enforcement, with early access planned through early 2025.
