Sebastian Scherl
Principal Product Specialist SASE
Cloudflare
I am a SASE Go-to-Market Lead and Product Specialist at Cloudflare, focused on helping customers and partners across EMEA modernize security, networking, and application access with Cloudflare One. My work sits at the intersection of Zero Trust, SASE, network transformation, and AI Security, especially around secure AI adoption, shadow AI, MCP governance, and data protection.Before joining Cloudflare, I founded and ran my own VPN company, with 35k monthly active subscribers which gave me a very practical view of remote access, secure connectivity, and the limits of legacy network architectures. Today, I combine that technical background with hands-on field experience across enterprise customers, partners, CISOs, and engineering teams.I have spoken at Cloudflare Connect 2025 in Las Vegas, Connect on Tour 2026 London, MySecurity Days, eCrime Congress, LSZ Security Conference, and many other customer and partner events (15-20 a year). My sessions are typically practical, demo-driven, and built to make complex topics tangible. For 2026, I have evolved my SASE demo into a new AI Security storyline around “the safest path to AI adoption,” showing how Cloudflare can help organizations move fast with AI without losing control over users, data, applications, and agentic workflows.
