Overview

Securing Remote Work

Cloud Secure Edge delivers secure, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to internal resources and safe, filtered connections to the internet for remote and hybrid workers. Combining Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and ZTNA capabilities, it closes the gap between on-network protection from the firewall and on-device protection from endpoint security, covering everything users do outside the office perimeter.

Zero Trust Network Access closes the gaps legacy security left open.

Legacy security relied on firewalls, VPNs, and implied trust within a network perimeter, but today, access is no longer confined. Modern threats require a Zero Trust approach where identity is the new perimeter, every user and device is continuously verified, and security is delivered through scalable, cloud-based controls with granular policies and AI-driven protection.

61%

of breaches start with a stolen credential. SSL VPN turns that credential into a master key to the network.

~50K

Known vulnerabilities are published every year. Attackers exploit them within 5 minutes but it takes organizations an overage of 30 days to patch.

Every ungoverned AI interaction is a potential data exit point. Shadow AI-related data-loss activity has increased nearly 4x year over year.

What is Cloud Secure Edge

SonicWall's SSE Platform.

The Security Foundation of Modern SASE.

Cloud Secure Edge is SonicWall's Security Service Edge (SSE) platform, built around the two things every remote and hybrid worker needs: secure access to internal applications and safe internet connections. Secure Private Access and Secure Internet Access together form the SSE foundation of any modern SASE architecture: replacing insecure VPN, blocking threats, and enforcing compliance from a single cloud platform.

Why choose SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge

Cloud delivered SSE platform

Cloud Secure Edge covers the full security stack from one platform: ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and DNS Security.

SonicWall firewall integration

The firewall connector activates in clicks from the existing portal. Shared threat intel with Gen 7/8 firewalls and Capture ATP. No rip-and-replace.

MSP-ready, per-seat licensing

Billed through MySonicWall alongside existing licenses. Multi-tenant management. Fits the MSP recurring revenue model.

Faster than standalone ZTNA deployment

Customers report fill SSL VPN replacement in under two weeks. Guided migration, coexistence mode, and partner playbooks reduce the project risk.

Attack surface eliminated, not patched

CSE does not harden SSL VPN. It replaces it. No exposed portal, no lateral movement risk, no credential-to-network escalation path.

Compliance and visibility built in

12-month log retention, geo-blocking, AI app inventory, and continuous authorization logging satisfy audit requirements that SSL VPN cannot.

Proactive Security Guide

Credential theft, VPN exposure, and user-assisted attacks are the most common ways breaches begin. Modern access architecture determines whether they succeed.

Common Use Cases

Cloud Secure Edge addresses the most common challenges remote and hybrid organizations face today, from replacing legacy VPNs to blocking internet threats.

Replace legacy VPN with Zero Trust access

Connect every remote and hybrid employee to the exact applications they need. No broad network access, no lateral movement risk, no VPN appliance to maintain.

Secure Private Access (SPA)

Govern cloud applications and app content

Enforce zero-trust access to SaaS applications to ensure users can only authenticate when connected through an approved Service Tunnel and block unauthorized access at the identity layer.

Secure Internet Access (SIA)

Secure access for remote workers, vendors BYOD and unmanaged devices

Enforce access policy on contractor and personal devices without MDM enrollment. Device posture is assessed at connection time.

Secure Private Access (SPA)

Contain Shadow AI

Block access to unsanctioned AI apps and tooling to stop corporate data from reaching unvetted, ungoverned destinations.

Secure Internet Access (SIA)

Stop credential-based attacks

Multi-signal verification means stolen credentials alone are not sufficient. Device posture, location, and behavioral context are required on every access request.

Secure Private Access (SPA)

Block Internet Threats

DNS filtering, real-time URL categorization, and Capture ATP malware scanning protect every user on every network, including those working remotely.

Secure Internet Access (SIA)

Scaling

Cloud Secure Edge Solutions

Multi-Site and Branch Access

CSE connects branch offices and distributed sites through a unified policy framework, giving IT teams consistent visibility and control across every network edge.

Zero-Trust for MSPs

CSE gives MSPs a multi-tenant platform to enforce least privilege access, inspect internet traffic, and apply consistent policy across every client environment from a single console.

Compliance and Acceptable Use

Enforce least privilege access with context-aware identity verification for internal resources and data. Granular web filtering controls keep internet activity within acceptable use policies.

Licensing

Cloud Secure Edge is available in two purpose-built packages to secure access to both internal and internet-facing resources:

Secure Private Access (SPA)

For internal applications, infrastructure, and hybrid environments

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Application and Infrastructure Access: Simple, least-privilege access to applications and services across hybrid- and multi-cloud infrastructure.

Modern Secure Remote Access

Network Access:  Modern, high-performance, tunnel-based access to networks, incorporating zero trust enhancements like continuous authorization and device trust.

Secure Internet Access (SIA)

For SaaS apps and public internet resources

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

SaaS Application Access Security: Layered security that provides easily managed controls for who can access your SaaS applications, and which devices they can use to connect.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG)

Internet Threat Protection: Protects users from being phished, straying onto malicious websites, or being exposed to ransomware.
