Cloud Secure Edge
Legacy remote access solutions struggle to provide secure access to the applications and resources users need across hybrid, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments. Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) delivers scalable, zero-trust security without the complexity of VPNs or hardware.

SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) is an easy-to-adopt cloud-delivered access solution, enabling your workforce to securely access any resources from any device. It delivers simple, secure zero-trust access to private and internet resources for all your employees and third parties, regardless of their location.
CSE combines the functionality of multiple traditional network appliances - remote access VPN, web proxy, firewall, etc. - into a unified cloud-delivered solution, improving the security posture and user experience for the entire workforce.
Employees use personal or unmanaged devices that are not secure.
Traditional VPNs create latency, drop connections, require manual configuration, and are a continuously increasing security risk.
Once a device is authenticated, users (or attackers) can move laterally and access business-critical systems.

Empower your workforce to connect securely to corporate resources wherever they are: at home, on the road, or in branch offices. Cloud Secure Edge uses Zero Trust principles to verify users and devices before granting access, ensuring security without sacrificing flexibility.
Get up and running quickly with a scalable cloud-native architecture and intuitive policy controls. CSE integrates with your existing identity providers and security tools and comes with built-in Two-Factor Authentication.
Eliminate the overhead of legacy VPN infrastructure and reduce operational costs with a scalable, cloud-delivered solution. CSE consolidates multiple security functions like ZTNA, SWG, and CASB into one platform, helping you do more with less.
For internal applications, infrastructure, and hybrid environments
Application and Infrastructure Access: Simple, least-privilege access to applications and services across hybrid- and multi-cloud infrastructure.
Network Access: Modern, high-performance, tunnel-based access to networks, incorporating zero trust enhancements like continuous authorization and device trust.
For SaaS apps and public internet resources
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.
Internet Threat Protection: Protects users from being phished, straying onto malicious websites, or being exposed to ransomware.
Challenge: As an MSP supporting diverse client environments, ShowTech struggled with the limitations of legacy VPNs — including configuration complexity, inconsistent performance, and frequent password/MFA-related tickets. Clients increasingly needed stronger identity-based access and device-level verification, but traditional VPNs couldn’t keep up.
Results:
“CSE has transformed the way we support our clients… It gives them the flexibility and protection they need without the challenges of legacy VPN offerings.” — Chase Kyler, Engineer, ShowTech SolutionsShowTech
Challenge: SMBs face enterprise-level threats but lack resources to manage security. Legacy VPNs were slow, complex, and risky for hybrid environments.
Solution: Stronghold deployed SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) to deliver Zero Trust security, identity-based access, and fast onboarding—all without VPNs. CSE’s cloud-native design makes it easy to scale and manage multiple clients.
Results:
“CSE is faster, simpler, and makes our clients feel secure.”– Avion Bryant, CTO, Stronghold Data
Challenge: Lemonade’s rapid growth and small security team made managing VPNs difficult. Legacy VPNs were slow, complex, and didn’t support least-privileged access for changing roles.
Solution: Lemonade deployed SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) to replace VPNs with Zero Trust security and identity-based access. CSE provides fast, secure connectivity for employees and partners without manual processes.
Results:
“Compared to our VPN, it’s night and day. CSE is the best Zero Trust solution in the market today.”– Jonathan Jaffe, CISO, Lemonade
