Converged Platform: Consolidate your security stack by replacing disconnected point solutions with a unified, cloud-delivered platform. This integration reduces operational complexity by 25-35% and ensures consistent policy enforcement across your entire environment.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Precision Access for Every Application Cisco Secure Access redefines remote connectivity by replacing legacy, perimeter-based VPNs with granular Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). This approach grants users app-specific access to private resources, whether they are hosted on-premises, in the cloud, or across IaaS environments. By verifying identity and device posture before every request, ZTNA effectively eliminates lateral movement and ensures that sensitive data remains isolated from unauthorized segments. Furthermore, our solution supports both managed and unmanaged devices, offering clientless options like SSH and RDP for seamless, secure connectivity. This creates a frictionless user experience that maintains robust security without the complexity of traditional remote access methods.

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI): Defending Against the Web's Most Sophisticated Threats Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) acts as a critical security layer that shields your organization from the web's most sophisticated threats. By executing web traffic in a secure, cloud-based sandbox, RBI completely separates potentially malicious content from the user's endpoint device. This proactive defense neutralizes browser-based attacks, including zero-day exploits and malicious scripts, before they can reach your network or internal systems. Even when users access high-risk or uncategorized websites, they remain protected within this isolated environment, ensuring their productivity is never compromised by security restrictions. This capability is essential for modern enterprises that need to balance open web access with the highest standards of digital protection.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG): SWG logs and inspects all web traffic to provide transparency and control over user activity. It uses Talos-powered filtering and TLS decryption to block malicious destinations and prevent malware downloads.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): CASB detects and controls the use of cloud applications, including generative AI, to reduce shadow IT risks. It provides deep visibility into app usage and enforces tenant restrictions to ensure organizational compliance.

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS): FWaaS delivers full visibility and security controls for traffic across all ports and protocols, whether users are roaming or in branch offices. It includes integrated Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to block vulnerability exploits and enforce granular security policies.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP): DLP provides comprehensive visibility and control over sensitive data, such as PII and intellectual property, as it leaves the organization. It supports real-time inline analysis and API-based inspection for cloud storage to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration.

AI Access & Assistant: These tools enable the safe use of generative AI by providing guardrails against toxic content and prompt injections while controlling shadow AI usage. The AI Assistant simplifies IT operations by converting conversational English into actionable security policies and automating complex troubleshooting workflows.

Experience Insights (DEM): Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) tracks the health and performance of endpoints, applications, and network connectivity to optimize user productivity. It uses AI-driven insights to proactively identify and resolve performance issues before they impact the workforce.

Talos Threat Intelligence: This feature leverages one of the world's largest commercial threat intelligence teams to provide real-time protection against malicious domains and sophisticated threat actors. This data is integrated across the platform to ensure automated, defense-in-depth security.

DNS-layer Security: This capability filters internet requests at the DNS layer to block malicious destinations before a connection is even established. It provides an immediate, scalable layer of protection for all network devices and roaming users.

Hybrid Private Access & Resource Connectors: These features offer flexible routing options between cloud and on-premise enforcement to ensure optimal performance and business continuity. Resource Connectors simplify connectivity to private apps by hiding their location and preventing complex network routing issues.

Identity Intelligence & Duo Integration: The platform integrates dynamic user trust scores to enable adaptive policy enforcement based on real-time identity data. It also unlocks robust multi-factor authentication and device trust features to enhance the security of all your applications.

Cisco Secure Access goes beyond traditional SSE by integrating advanced capabilities that provide a holistic view of your security posture. Whether you are looking to secure roaming users, branch offices, or complex private applications, our solution offers the flexibility and scale required by global enterprises.
