the new reality by improving the overall security posture while reducing
complexity for both the IT team and end users. SSE protects users and
resources and simplifies deployment by consolidating multiple security
capabilities – like secure web gateway, cloud access security broker and zero
trust network access – and delivering them from the cloud. This provides
secure, seamless, and direct connectivity to the web, cloud services, and
private applications. The Cisco Secure Access solution includes all of the
elements above and more, to deliver a higher level of protection and user
