Accelerate innovation with a quantum-safe SASE architecture, unified by design. [ Contact us ](https://www.cloudflare.com/contact/sase/) [ Get solution brief ](https://cfl.re/cf1-sase-brief-multi-page-hospitality) ![Background Pattern](/static/pattern.png) #### Truly unified SASE The “platform” promise, finally delivered. Secure AI adoption: Protect guest data Support new revenue streams while governing employee usage of AI agents and internal data. Manage access and analyze AI prompts for content and intent to prevent guest data leaks. Consolidate infrastructure: Simplify operations Embrace "coffee shop networking" to mitigate connectivity complexity across your properties. Adopt an architecture that is unified by design, not by stitched-together acquisitions. Accelerate productivity: Empower staff and guests Enable consistent security and performance across remote properties and office work. Secure guest Wi-Fi and enforce acceptable use policies with lightweight DNS filtering. ### Deploy faster. Adapt instantly. ![Background Pattern](/static/pattern.png) ### The fast path to safe AI adoption Don’t just manage shadow AI — secure the infrastructure. We are the first SASE platform to secure connections to MCP servers and govern both human users and AI agents. ![Background Pattern](/static/pattern.png) ### The easy-to-use SASE Stop paying for bloated tools you can’t deploy across distributed properties. Remove the per-site complexity of legacy SASE, and accelerate the time to roll out high-value, zero trust security and networking capabilities. ![Background Pattern](/static/pattern.png) ### A truly composable, programmable platform Augment your existing stack, and infinitely customize your SASE deployment to fit sophisticated needs alongside our expert design partners. Support unique franchise requirements; no per-property exceptions. ### Frequently asked questions ###### What is Cloudflare One, and how is it different from other solutions on the market? Cloudflare One is a unified SASE platform built on a composable, programmable global network, not stitched together from disparate acquisitions like first-generation providers. It securely connects your corporate staff, franchisees, seasonal workers, and AI agents using a single control plane, data plane, and infrastructure layer. Hospitality organizations never double-pay for per-user seats and bandwidth consumption, which keeps operating costs predictable even during massive seasonal hiring surges. ###### How does Cloudflare secure frictionless guest Wi-Fi and protect point-of-sale (POS) systems? Offering open guest Wi-Fi is essential for the modern guest experience, but it introduces massive attack surface exposure and liability if guest devices aren't separated from sensitive corporate data. Cloudflare solves this using Gateway DNS filtering. This lightweight, clientless approach natively isolates guest Wi-Fi traffic from corporate POS terminals and property management systems (PMS) without relying on brittle network segmentation or requiring custom certificates on your guests' devices. This also supports strict PCI DSS compliance by isolating POS networks natively from the cloud, reducing your audit scope. ###### Why should hospitality organizations replace legacy VPNs with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)? Legacy VPNs grant overly broad, network-level access to corporate staff, third-party vendors, and independent franchisees. If a single user's device or credentials are compromised, this legacy architecture makes devastating lateral movement and ransomware spread trivial, potentially shutting down check-ins and reservation systems across multiple properties. Replacing these obsolete tools with ZTNA ensures every connection is continuously verified by identity and context, eliminating lateral movement risks while drastically speeding up the onboarding process for temporary seasonal workers. ###### How does a SASE platform help hospitality brands manage shadow AI and protect guest data (PII)? Hospitality AI adoption has surged as brands deploy chatbots, personalized guest recommendations, and revenue management algorithms, significantly increasing the risk of exposing payment card details and loyalty profiles to public models. Cloudflare One helps IT teams enforce strict policies separating approved and unapproved AI tools. It protects sensitive data by analyzing AI prompt content and intent, securely logging every prompt for total visibility, and extending Zero Trust least-privilege governance to non-human AI agents connecting to internal data. ###### How does Cloudflare help protect against phishing and business email compromise (BEC)? Hospitality brands are high-value targets for brand impersonation, and daily communications regarding fake booking confirmations, loyalty program scams, and invoice fraud increase external vulnerabilities. Cloudflare's AI-powered preemptive email security stops elusive, highly targeted phishing and BEC attacks before they ever reach a property manager's or corporate employee's inbox, neutralizing the threat of credential theft at its source. ###### What is coffee shop networking and why does it benefit the hospitality industry? Hospitality operators manage widely distributed physical footprints, ranging from flagship corporate hotels to remote, bandwidth-constrained resorts and independent franchisee locations. "Coffee shop networking" replaces expensive, rigid MPLS lines and heavy branch firewalls with a "light branch, heavy cloud" SASE architecture. It treats every property location like a public Wi-Fi network, securing point-of-sale and back-office traffic natively from the cloud to deliver high-performance access while significantly reducing branch infrastructure complexity and costs.
