Get started

Set up Cloudflare Zero Trust to protect your users, devices, and networks. Complete the prerequisites below, then choose a use case to get started.

Prerequisites

Before you begin any use case, you need a Cloudflare account and a Zero Trust organization.

1. Create a Cloudflare account

Sign up for a Cloudflare account and enable two-factor authentication.

2. Create a Zero Trust organization

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, select Zero Trust.

    Go to Zero Trust
  2. On the onboarding screen, choose a team name. The team name is a unique, internal identifier for your Zero Trust organization. Users will enter this team name when they enroll their device manually, and it will be the subdomain for your App Launcher (as relevant). Your business name is the typical entry.

    You can find your team name in Cloudflare One by going to Settings.

  3. Complete your onboarding by selecting a subscription plan and entering your payment details. If you chose the Zero Trust Free plan, this step is still needed but you will not be charged.
