Protect and accelerate your business with SSE

SSE is a network-agnostic security framework commonly adopted as the first stepping stone toward a secure access service edge (SASE) framework, giving your organization the power to:

The Problem

Legacy security impedes transformation

Traditional network security can't protect cloud-based apps and data, stop lateral movement, inspect encrypted traffic at scale, or follow remote users and endpoints. Security, performance, and user experience are compromised. In short, legacy protection is no longer fit for purpose.

56%

of enterprises were targeted by a VPN-related cyberattack in 2023

85.9%

of threats are now delivered over encrypted channels

82%

of breaches involve data stored in the cloud
This is a large part of why, by 2026, 85% of organizations seeking to secure their web, SaaS, and private applications will obtain their security capabilities from an SSE offering.

FAQ

With secure access service edge (SASE), both network and security services are consumed through a unified, cloud-delivered approach, with a focus on improving the user-to-cloud-app experience while reducing costs and complexity. In particular, the SSE slice focuses on unifying security services, including SWG, ZTNA, CASB, FWaaS, and others.

SSE supports remote workforces by extending them consistent security and secure access, wherever they are. Because it effectively eliminates data center backhauling, SSE offers significantly lower latency and better performance, and lets organizations enforce uniform security policies, monitor user activities, and stop threats.
