Security Service Edge (SSE) explained
With the emergence of hybrid work environments, users connect from anywhere and from any device, accessing business applications and sensitive data directly in the cloud. As the traditional security perimeter continues to dissolve, security functions must also move to the cloud. SSE enables organizations to apply consistent security from the cloud and secure access to applications spread across multiple clouds, data centers, and software-as-a-service applications. An SSE solution—when combined with an advanced SD-WAN—creates a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture that significantly improves end user Quality of Experience for cloud-hosted applications.
