GigaOm Radar For Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA):
SonicWall Emerges as a High-Impact Leader
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.
What Cloud Secure Edge Solves
Untrusted and Unrecognized Devices Are a Security Risk
Employees use personal or unmanaged devices that are not secure.
Legacy VPNs Are Slow and Frustrating
Traditional VPNs create latency, drop connections, require manual configuration, and are a continuously increasing security risk. ZTNA solutions like Cloud Secure Edge eliminate these issues by verifying every connection before granting access.
Too Much Trust Inside
the Network
Once a device is authenticated, users (or attackers) can move laterally and access business-critical systems. A ZTNA approach restricts users to only the specific applications they need, eliminating lateral movement.
Benefits of SonicWall's ZTNA Solution
Secure Remote Access from Anywhere
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.
Fast Deployment, Easy Management
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.
Cost-Effective Security at Scale
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.
