Cloud Secure Edge: Secure Internet Access
Traditional remote access tools struggle to keep up with the demands of hybrid work and cloud-first environments. SonicWall’s Secure Internet Access (SIA), part of Cloud Secure Edge (CSE), delivers scalable, zero-trust protection for users accessing SaaS applications and internet resources.
Overview
Secure Internet Access: Protecting Web and SaaS Access
SonicWall Secure Internet Access filters harmful content at the DNS and web layers to block threats before they reach users. It enforces acceptable use policies and stops risky behavior across SaaS apps and internet traffic. With built-in CASB and device posture checks, you gain granular control over access, visibility into usage trends, and centralized management of users, roles, and privileges, all through the Global Edge Network.
