What is Secure Access Secure Edge?
When Gartner unveiled its Security Service Edge (SSE) product in early 2021, it was considered an essential component of building secure cloud and networking infrastructures capable of supporting increased performance while accommodating growth in demand for cloud and networking services.
Since then, the SSE product has become an industry-leading security service for safeguarding data and applications in cloud and networking environments. The Security Service Edge product is designed to protect data and applications by providing a secure gateway between networks and computing resources.
It provides visibility into traffic and enforces security policies to help ensure that only authorized users can access
According to Gartner, a combination of on-premises and agent-based components is possible in SSE, but it is the primary mode of delivery. Included in SSE’s cloud-based capabilities and components are the following:
- Anti-threat measures
- confidentiality and integrity of personal information
- Monitoring for safety
- Network and API-based integration enforce acceptable usage controls.
How does an SSE work?
With an SSE, you can make sure that your business’s operations are running smoothly. How? By combining several different technologies into a single, comprehensive solution that monitors your systems’ performance and alerts you to potential issues before they can become bigger problems.
What are SSE’s advantages?
Enterprises have battled to simplify their security approach while simultaneously increasing security and the user experience as the needs of a remote workforce and customer base have grown. Using SSE-consolidated technologies, endpoint protection simplifies while cloud services do make more secure throughout an organization.
A comprehensive SSE strategy provides businesses with a broad range of security tools that assist both on-site and remote personnel and stakeholders:
- Reduce processing traffic for unauthorized data access and threats while enhancing processing traffic for unauthorized data access and threats and removing the requirement to route back via the data centre with a secure internet connection from anywhere globally.
- Faster, more secure and efficient access to online and cloud-based applications from any user, on any device in any location.
- Observing and monitoring the actions of network users
- Detection of both cloud-native assaults and sophisticated malware in the cloud and any online destination.
- Information safety on public networks, in the cloud, and when it moves between clouds.
- Data and apps may be securely accessed via Zero Trust access based on the user’s identity and context.
- Integrate with existing security systems for a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity.
- Prevent cyberattacks by detecting unusual activity and activity that is out of character for each user.
- Provide visibility into how data is being used and managed, including the use of sensitive data, third-party access, compliance, and more.
- Protect against breaches by monitoring for unauthorized access attempts and application vulnerabilities.
- Reduce the risk of a DDoS attack on a business’s applications by preventing malicious coordination of such attacks.
- Secure the edge against disruption from service provider outages or other routing problems.
