Secure Access

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Cisco Secure Access provides identity- and context-based access to private applications under a zero-trust model, granting users access only to the specific applications they are authorized for rather than broad network access.

Secure remote access to private applications: The service connects remote users to internal/private applications securely without exposing those applications directly to the internet, brokering access through the cloud-delivered platform.

VPN-as-a-Service: For scenarios that still require it, Secure Access offers cloud-delivered VPN capability, modernizing traditional remote access by delivering it from the security service rather than on-premises concentrators.

Cloud-delivered secure access (Security Service Edge): Secure Access is a converged SSE platform that unifies multiple security functions in the cloud, applying consistent policy to users wherever they work.

Identity-based access policies: Access decisions are based on verified user identity and group membership, ensuring that who the user is drives what they can reach.
