With employees accessing applications and data through hybrid work environments, organizations need a way to secure remote workers. A secure service edge can help achieve 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 Secure Service Edge (SSE) solutions are essential as more employees, partners, and customers access content, data and applications via the internet and mobile devices. 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 is also equipped with a zero-trust access control system based on identity. This means that users are never put on the network. This ensures fast, reliable WAN connections without the need for a VPN. SSE is also based on a solid defense-indepth strategy to detect and prevent malware and other security threats. Threat Protection SSE is a threat protection solution for internet sessions. Users can securely access critical business applications from anywhere. This allows hybrid working for employees. It secures cloud connectivity and private data, speeds up cloud migrations, and simplifies integration in M&As. A single cloud platform delivers security services that follow app-to-app connectivity, regardless of device or location. 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. Enforcing policy control: SSE combines unified threat prevention capabilities with CASB and ZTNA technologies to enforce corporate policies on all end users, regardless of where they are in the network or what devices they are using. This can help mitigate the risks of insider attacks, ransomware or other threats that may occur when employees use cloud applications not in compliance with corporate policy. Data Security The information of remote and portable users is important to organizations. 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 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 includes adaptive access controls that identify device postures and change access accordingly. Monitoring Monitor internet sessions if you're working with secure service edges. This will allow you to monitor how your network is working and which applications are being used. Monitors can alert you to potential problems, allowing you to prevent them before they even occur. This can also help you improve your user experience and reduce costs. SSE platforms with the ability to inspect data and web traffic on a worldwide scale are vital. Be sure that the vendor has a strong service level agreement (SLA) and an extensive track record in evaluating traffic for large multinational companies. One of the primary use cases for a security service edge is enforcing policy control over 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.
