Organizations need to protect remote workers, as employees are accessing data and applications through hybrid environments. Secure service edges can help with this. SSE provides security and network services in a single cloud-native platform. This allows security to be covered across SaaS cloud applications, private applications and cloud services from a single policy. Access Control A comprehensive solution for secure service edges (SSEs) is necessary as employees and partners are increasingly using the internet and mobile devices to access data, content, applications and other resources. SSE protects users from malicious and unauthorized access. It also enables secure access for web, cloud and private applications and monitors the digital experience. SSE, a cloud platform, integrates networking functions and security, including software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN), firewalls as services, secure web portals (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). It offers consistent application and security enforcement across locations and users while delivering centralized visibility into traffic. SSE uses a zero trust system for access control. It is based solely on user identities and does not place users in the corporate network. This ensures fast, reliable WAN connections without the need for a VPN. SSE includes a strong defense-in-depth approach for detecting malware and other threats. Threat Protection SSE provides threat protection to internet sessions. This ensures that users can connect securely and safely to critical business applications, no matter where they may be located. This enables hybrid work for employees, secures cloud and private data connectivity, accelerates cloud migrations and simplifies integration during M&As. A single cloud platform delivers security services that follow app-to-app connectivity, regardless of device or location. This reduces risks by eliminating gaps between products and removing the need for manual updating of traditional legacy appliances. Zero trust access: SSE should only allow access to the least privileged users based on zero trust policies, which include user roles and behaviors, devices, applications and content. This prevents lateral movement and protects applications from being discovered, reducing the attack surface. SSE enforces policies: SSE combines unified threats prevention capabilities with CASB/ZTNA technologies in order to enforce corporate policy on all end-users, no matter where they are located within the network or which devices they use. This helps mitigate the risk of insider threats, ransomware and other threats that can occur when employees connect to sensitive data or use cloud applications that are not compliant with corporate policies. Data Security Protecting information is essential for organizations that allow remote and mobile workers to access data and applications via the internet. Secure service-edge delivers security using web gateway (SWG), zero-trust network (ZTNA), and cloud access security broker technologies. SSE also offers centralized cloud data loss protection (DLP) capabilities, enabling sensitive data to be easily found, classified, and secured in a unified way. This can help to support compliance policy, 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's adaptive access control identifies the device posture, and adapts access to it as needed. Watching Monitoring internet sessions is important when using a secure service. You can see how well your network performs and which apps are being used. Monitors can alert you to potential problems, allowing you to prevent them before they even occur. You can improve the user experience while reducing costs. SSE platform that can inspect web- and data-traffic on a globally scale is crucial. Vendors should have strong service-level agreement (SLAs), and experience evaluating inline traffic at major multinationals. One of the primary use cases for a security service edge is enforcing policy control over internet, cloud, and mobile access. This includes enforcing internet and access control policy for corporate compliance or mitigating risks through content blocking and malicious isolation.
