Cloudflare introduces Project Helix, an automated tool that configures its Cloudflare One SASE platform with best-practice Zero Trust policies in minutes instead of weeks.
- •Cloudflare One tenants are provisioned with a blank slate by default, requiring manual configuration of DNS protection, Secure Web Gateway, TLS inspection, DLP, and AV scanning.
- •Project Helix uses Terraform templates executed via a web UI hosted on Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Containers, eliminating persistent storage of tokens or logs.
- •The tool auto-deploys DNS security policies, network policies across all ports and protocols, and HTTP policies including AI prompt controls and Remote Browser Isolation for risky domains.
- •Helix includes pre-configured split tunneling for real-time apps like Zoom and captive portal compatibility for airlines and hotels.
- •A Solutions Engineer reported saving 2-3 weeks of prep time, completing a full Cloudflare One feature demo within 15 minutes of Helix deployment.
