Organizations need to protect remote workers, as employees are accessing data and applications through hybrid environments. A secure service edge can help achieve this. SSE, a cloud-native platform that integrates security and networking into one platform, is a cloud architecture. This enables continuous security coverage across cloud, SaaS and private applications from an unified policy framework. Access Control In an era where more employees are accessing content, data, applications and resources on the web or via mobile devices, having a secure service-edge (SSE), comprehensive solution is vital. SSE protects against unauthorized or malicious access and allows users to access web, cloud, private, and other applications securely. SSE (Cloud Security Engine) is a cloud-based solution that integrates networking, security and other functions. These include SD-WAN software, firewall as a Service, Secure Web Gateways, Cloud Access Security Brokers and Zero Trust network access. It allows for consistent application and network security across users and locations, while also providing central visibility. SSE also includes a zero trust approach to access control that is based on identity and never places users on the corporate network. This enables fast, reliable WANs without the necessity of a Virtual Private Network (VPN). SSE includes a strong defense-in-depth approach for detecting malware and other threats. Threat Protection SSE is a threat protection solution for internet sessions. Users can securely access critical business applications from anywhere. It enables hybrid work by employees, secures the cloud and private data connection, accelerates cloud-migrations, as well as simplifies the integration of M&As. Security services are delivered from a single cloud platform that can follow user-to-app connections regardless of location or device. It reduces risk because it eliminates gaps in point products, and also removes the need to update legacy appliances manually. Zero trust access. SSE systems are designed to allow the least-privileged user access. This is based on an zero trust policy that includes device, application, and content. This prevents lateral movement and protects applications from being discovered, reducing the attack surface. SSE combines unified Threat Prevention capabilities with CASB & ZTNA Technologies to enforce policies on end users no matter what device or location they may be in. This helps reduce the risk that insiders, ransomwares and other types of threats can be posed by employees who connect to sensitive information or use cloud-based applications that aren't compliant with corporate security policies. Data Security Organizations need to safeguard information as remote and mobile users access applications and data via the internet. Secure service edge provides security by combining web gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), zero trust network access technologies (ZTNA). SSE also provides centralized cloud Data Loss Protection (DLP) capabilities. This allows sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, to be classified, located and secured in one place. This can help support compliance policies, such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and GDPR. SSE must have advanced threat protection capabilities. Examples include cloud firewalls, CASB inspections in SaaS-based apps, and adaptive accessibility control. SSE solutions must include adaptive access control, which identifies and adjusts access based on changes in device posture. Monitoring Monitoring internet sessions is important when using a secure service. This allows you to see how your network is performing and what apps are being used. Monitors can alert you to potential problems, allowing you to prevent them before they even occur. It can also improve user experience and lower costs. SSE platforms with the ability to inspect data and web traffic on a worldwide scale are vital. Make sure the vendor you choose has strong service-level agreements (SLAs) and a track record of evaluating inline traffic for major multinational companies. A security service edge can be used to enforce policy control on internet, cloud and mobile access. This could include enforcing access and internet control policies within the company to ensure compliance or reducing risk via content blocking and malware isolate.
