Benefits of Cloud Secure Edge

Traditional VPNs reveal significant performance, manageability, and security limitations when trying to provide simple, safe, secure access to the applications and resources users need across hybrid, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments. They also leave users accessing internet-based information and applications open to attack. To address these realities, a scalable and comprehensive approach is required.

A Security Service Edge (SSE) solution is a collection of integrated, cloud-centric security capabilities that facilitates safe access to websites, software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and private applications. SSE offers a simple, scalable and secure way to provide users one-click access to the applications and resources needed to do their jobs while protecting them from advanced internet threats.

The biggest benefits for using Cloud Secure Edge include:

Security posture verification	Ensures that devices meet the minimum security requirements before being allowed to access corporate resources. This includes ensuring that devices have the latest security updates and patches, have anti-virus software installed, and are not jail-broken or rooted.
Intelligent routing	Ensures traffic is directed through the most secure and efficient route to the resource. This includes routing traffic through secure gateways and ensuring that sensitive data is encrypted.
User verification	Ensures that only authorized users can access corporate resources. This includes implementing multi-factor authentication and restricting resource access based on user roles and privileges.
