Rackspace is offering managed services for Cloudflare Zero Trust through the Rackspace Elastic Engineering for Security portfolio which is available to customers globally.
According to Gary Alterson, vice-president of security services for Rackspace, the company's cloud-first delivery model supports businesses globally as they transform their networks, modernise applications, and now, to help adopt zero trust security architectures.
“We want to forge partnerships that really bring best-in-class cloud solutions to our customers.
