FAQs

SSE (Security Service Edge) is a powerful, cloud-delivered security solution that brings essential security services together to keep your business safe. It gives remote users secure, seamless access to SaaS, web, and private apps, wherever they are. These integrated services work as one to protect users, devices, and application edges, no matter the location. Features include the latest secuirty technologies such as SWG, CASB, ZTNA, FWaaS, DLP, RBI and DEM all delivered and scaled on demand as our cusotmers require.

In 2022, Gartner introduced Secure Service Edge (SSE) as the security side of SASE. SSE is the cloud-delivered security layer that includes Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and other serivices like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI). Pair that with a software-defined wide-area network (SD WAN), and you get SASE: SD-WAN + SSE = SASE.
