SSL for SaaS
Protect customers’ data with strong encryption
Protecting customer data is not only a security best practice but also what your customers and auditors expect.
Cloudflare partners with SaaS Providers to make encryption easy so your customers will have more confidence than ever in your service, knowing their data is safe.
Cloudflare has been leading the way when it comes to SSL technology.

What's New with SSL for SaaS
Apex Proxy Flexibility
Allow your customers to proxy their apex to your application, regardless of their DNS provider. Either bring your own IP or we’ll supply a set for your end customer, so they can point to your application with an A record.
Bring your own IP
Bring your own IP range to announce at Cloudflare’s edge. With BYOIP + SSL for SaaS solution you are able to manage the IP assignments of your customers.
Custom SSL Certification Support
Upload your customer’s certificate whenever necessary. For your security-conscious customers, we offer CSR support, meaning their private keys stay on Cloudflare, while they use the CA of their choice.
Wildcard Custom Hostnames
Extend encryption, performance, and security to any customer subdomain with wildcard custom hostnames.
Custom Origins
Route customers to your origin of choice as your company scales.
Customizable Domain Configurations
Add specific rules to customer domains for maximum customization.

Common problems for SaaS Providers when addressing SSL end customer needs:
未加密但品牌虚域
Custom vanity domains without SSL lack the performance benefits of SSL and secure data transfer, making them vulnerable to snooping and content modification or injection.
加密但非品牌化域
Domains with SSL enabled through a SaaS provider lack a custom vanity domain, resulting in brand degradation and lower SEO rankings.
具有挑战性的内部方法
想要加密品牌化虚域的 SaaS 提供商可以手动管理 SSL 生命周期，从而延长部署时间和开销成本，也可以构建复杂的自动内部解决方案。
Benefits of SSL for SaaS
Branded visitor experiences
You can offer branded domains to your customers, all while enjoying the added benefits of a fully managed SSL certificate. Branded domains offer end customers higher SEO rankings and improved visitor trust.
Secure and performant customer assets
With SSL/TLS certificates, protect your end customers’ domains from on-path attackers and network snooping. Additionally, the HTTP/2 protocol becomes available for even greater speed improvements.
Automated SSL lifecycle management
You don’t have to worry about any part of the SSL lifecycle. Cloudflare manages the entire process, from private key creation and protection through domain validation, issuance, renewal, and reissuance.
Rapid global SSL deployments
During the SSL issuance process, Cloudflare deploys new certificates across its global network of data centers in 200 cities, bringing HTTPS online within minutes.
With SSL for SaaS we have implemented a simpler flow because Cloudflare’s API handles the provisioning, serving, automated renewal and maintenance of our customers’ SSL certificates. Plus, end-to-end HTTPS now means we have bolstered privacy and performance for our customers, and can leverage browser features, like Local Storage, that we couldn’t use before.
