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…
