Virtru has integrated its Data Security Platform with Cloudflare’s R2 object‑storage service, adding object‑level governance that lets customers apply cryptographic, attribute‑based access policies to each file stored in R2. The new capability turns a single R2 bucket into a fully governed repository, where every object carries its own access rules and can be searched, analyzed, and fed into AI tools while remaining under strict control.
The integration uses Virtru’s Trusted Data Format (TDF) to embed security metadata directly into the data, ensuring that protection travels with the file regardless of location or application. Cloudflare R2, which is S3‑compatible and offers zero egress fees, now gains a granular security layer that was previously limited to bucket‑level controls. This combination delivers a cost‑effective, high‑performance storage solution that also satisfies stringent data‑governance requirements for regulated industries.
By adding object‑level governance, Cloudflare R2 strengthens its position as a developer‑friendly, secure cloud storage platform and expands its appeal to enterprises that need both performance and fine‑grained data protection. The move also supports Cloudflare’s broader strategy to become an infrastructure layer for AI data governance, allowing customers to safely expose sensitive data to AI tools without compromising compliance or security.
"Securing data at rest has never been a hard problem," said John Ackerly, CEO and co‑founder of Virtru. "Data owners shouldn’t have to choose between the operational and economic benefits of modern cloud storage and the ability to govern their most sensitive data. Now, with the Virtru Data Security Platform and Cloudflare R2, they no longer have to."
