You’ve Heard the Security Service Edge (SSE) Story Before, but We Re-Wrote It!

In our previous blog post, we discussed how Cisco has reimagined Zero Trust, delivering an in-office experience for users and things from anywhere accessing resources everywhere. You’re probably thinking “Ok, but how? How exactly has Cisco reimagined Zero Trust Access?” You’re in the right place to get a look into the technical details. In this blog post, I’ll unpack some of the technological components that allow us to leapfrog legacy approaches, and in doing so,…

Layered Protection for RADIUS With Cisco

Dream world for the CISO Organizations have a wide variety of resources to protect. And some resources are easier to protect than others. However, it’s not the easy stuff that keeps a CISO up at night. Before we dive into the more challenging examples, let’s consider a scenario that allows a CISO to sleep peacefully. In this scenario, when a worker “goes to work” (either in the office or remotely), they open their corporate laptop…

The threat landscape is full of moving targets. Over time, popular tools, tactics, and procedures change. Malicious techniques fall out of fashion, only to come roaring back months, if not years, later. All the while, security practitioners monitor network traffic and adapt their defenses to protect their users and networks. Keeping on top of these trends is one of the most challenging tasks for any security team. One great area to look for trends is…

Complexity drives more than security risk. Secure Access can help with that too.

Modern networks are complex, often involving hybrid work models and a mix of first- and third-party applications and infrastructure. In response, organizations have adopted security service edge (SSE) solutions, such as Cisco Secure Access, to protect users regardless of where they are located or what they are accessing. This reliance on third-party infrastructure doesn’t only drive security risk, it also increases the likelihood of performance outages and disruptions. Oftentimes, these disruptions are the result of…

Mitigating Lateral Movement with Zero Trust Access

Security service edge (SSE) technology was created to protect remote and branch users with a unified, cloud-delivered security stack. To understand how SSE solutions protect organizations and their users, it’s worthwhile to analyze attacker techniques, as well as the protections and controls SSE solutions use to disrupt them. It’s useful to use the MITRE ATT&CK framework. MITRE ATT&CK is a large knowledgebase of attacker techniques that cybersecurity experts use to describe the attack kill chains…

Cisco Secure Access Accelerates SSE Innovation with AI, User Experience Monitoring, and Identity Intelligence

In a blog post last December, I said that the business and IT leaders with whom I meet always ask: How can I secure my highly distributed workforce, who gets more varied and decentralized all the time? How do I provide tight security without burdening them or impeding business?  That hasn’t changed. This still drives conversations early and often. Yet this is never in isolation. Their focus on improving end users’ experience sits right beside…
