The SecureEdge Access service has evolved from basic ZTNA into a comprehensive Secure Service Edge (SSE) platform. This cloud-delivered service integrates security and connectivity to protect users, devices, and data across any location. It offers a simplified, cloud-native SSE that ensures secure access to the Internet, cloud services, and private resources. Such a solution is crucial for providing reliable, secure access to resources, regardless of location or device type, and forms an essential part of any Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution. This platform also offers flexible deployment options, both agent-based and agentless solutions, that are suitable for all mainstream desktop and mobile operating systems, including Linux and Chromebooks.
