Secure your hyper-distributed environment
Cisco SSE cloud-based architecture provides industry-leading security, performance, scalability, and resilience. It resides between users and the apps and data they access, wherever they are.
Consolidate security functions
Deepen protection with a cloud security service that combines secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security brokers (CASB), cloud firewall, DNS-layer security, data loss prevention (DLP), and remote browser isolation (RBI).
Simplify the user experience
Help users and devices, including those that are unmanaged, securely connect with confidence to the internet and mission-critical applications.
Deliver security for a hybrid world
Continuously apply granular access controls and security policies for deep security threat protection and tight compliance control.
Streamline IT operations
Use a single, cloud-managed console to enable simplified deployment, management, and optimization of your hyper-distributed environment.
What is Security Service Edge?
Security Service Edge (SSE) is a collection of security functions based in the cloud. These functions — which could include secure web gateway (SWG), zero trust network access (ZTNA), firewall-as-a-service technologies, and cloud access security broker (CASB) — help manage secure access to websites and apps from anywhere users are accessing them.
Gartner introduced SSE in 2021, and defined it as a group of technologies that secure access to the web, cloud services and private applications. Capabilities of SSE listed by Gartner include threat protection, data security, access control, security monitoring, and acceptable-use control enforced by network-based and API-based integration.

How SSE Helps An Evolving Workplace
New challenges are surfacing for IT and security teams as workforces become increasingly distributed. As more and more users connect to company networks from anywhere that has an internet connection, more data is being trafficked outside of traditional on-premise data centers, creating security gaps that legacy network architectures aren’t built to handle.
Through its features and technologies, SSE can protect your organization from cybersecurity threats, can scale easily, and can reduce complexity — no matter where employees log in.

FAQs
SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a cloud-based network security and wide-area networking (WAN) architecture, while SSE (Server-Side Encryption) is a data security practice that involves encrypting data at the server or storage level to protect it at rest.
SSE typically involves the use of encryption algorithms to encrypt data before it is stored on a server or in a cloud storage service. The data is decrypted when accessed by authorized users or applications.
