SK Hynix's design, firmware, and process IP is accessed every day by a distributed engineering workforce — employees, contractors, and partners across sites and geographies. Legacy VPN gives them broad, over-permissioned network access that's hard to segment and harder to audit. Cloudflare One replaces it with identity-aware, least-privilege access — and runs alongside your existing identity and endpoint stack, not on top of it.
The HBM and AI-memory boom has made SK Hynix's IP more valuable — and a bigger target — than ever. At the same time, the access surface is widening: more engineers, more contractors, more partners, more sites. VPN was designed for a network perimeter that no longer exists. Once on the VPN, a user (or a compromised credential) often has far more reach than the job requires — and proving who accessed what, when, is a forensic exercise rather than a log query.
Cloudflare One closes the paths IP actually leaks through — starting with the one that matters most.
Identity-aware, per-application access. Every engineer, contractor, and partner reaches only the specific tools and data they're entitled to — fully logged, instantly auditable. No more flat network access from a single VPN credential.
Engineers research and use web apps in a remote, sandboxed browser — so endpoints holding sensitive design data are never exposed to web-borne malware or risky downloads.
Detect and stop crown-jewel IP — design files, firmware, wafer and test data — from leaving sanctioned applications, across managed and unmanaged devices.
Phishing is the number-one entry vector for IP theft. Cloud email security blocks the targeted campaigns that aim to harvest engineering credentials — on the same platform.
Cloudflare One integrates with Microsoft Entra ID for identity and Intune for device posture — so this strengthens your existing investment rather than replacing it. Cloudflare and Microsoft are partners. Start with the US engineering workforce as the proof point, then extend the same model globally on one control plane.
The fastest path is a focused conversation about your US engineering footprint — replace VPN with Zero Trust access for the people who touch the most sensitive IP, measure it, then scale the same model across the global workforce. 30 minutes to see how it maps.
