Organizations need to protect remote workers, as employees are accessing data and applications through hybrid environments. You can do this by using a service edge. SSE is a cloud-native architecture that delivers security and networking services together in a single platform. The unified policy allows for continuous security coverage of cloud, SaaS applications and private apps. 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 secures end users against malicious attacks, allows them to securely access cloud, private and web applications, and provides monitoring of their digital experiences. SSE is an integrated cloud-based platform for networking and security. This includes SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networks), firewalls-as-a-service, secure Web Gateways (SWG), the Cloud Access Security Broker, and Zero Trust Network access (ZTNA). It ensures consistent application and data security across locations and users, and provides centralized 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 provides fast and reliable WAN connection without the requirement for a VPN. SSE includes a strong defense-in-depth approach for detecting malware and other threats. Threat Protection SSE offers threat protection for internet sessions, ensuring that users connect securely to critical business applications no matter where they are located. 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. A single cloud platform delivers security services that follow app-to-app connectivity, regardless of device or location. This reduces the risk of a breach by removing gaps between point solutions and eliminating the need for manually updating traditional legacy appliances. Zero-trust access: SSE systems must allow the least privilege access, based upon a policy of zero trust, encompassing user role, behavior, device, content, and application. This protects against lateral movement while preventing applications from being found, reducing attack surfaces. SSE enforces corporate policies for all users regardless of their location in the network, or device they use. This reduces the risk of ransomware, insider threats and other threats when employees access sensitive data or use cloud apps that do not comply with corporate policies. Data Security Organisations must protect information when remote users and mobile devices connect to data and applications over the Internet. Secure service edges delivers security through the unification of web gateways (SWG), cloud-access security brokers (CASB), as well as zero-trust network access (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 solutions also need to have advanced threat-prevention capabilities. These include cloud firewall as a Service (FWaaS), CASB data inspection in SaaS applications, and adaptive control access. SSE includes adaptive access controls that identify device postures and change access accordingly. Watching 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. Monitoring will help you identify problems before they occur and safeguard your business. 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. 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. For example, this can include enforcing policies on corporate internet access and compliance through content blockage and malware isolation.
