Global Secure Access
Remote work has fundamentally transformed the workplace, prompting companies to reconsider how to ensure secure access to data and applications. The answer lies in Security Service Edge (SSE).
Security for a connected work environment
Global Secure Access gives Microsoft a central SSE solution for security management that works both in the cloud and on-premises. Comprehensive protection is achieved in part through the integration of Zero Trust principles, which rely heavily on identity protection and Conditional Access. Different rule sets can be defined granularly for dedicated services, whether cloud-based or on-premises. You can learn more about how Microsoft's Security Service Edge (SSE) works in detail in our webcast on the topic.
Microsoft's Security Service Edge (SSE)
Global Secure Access is designed to deliver security services through the cloud, supporting managed devices across all major platforms. This includes integration with identity providers and security tools such as XDR or SIEM.The architecture of the SSE solution is divided into two main areas, each with different components:
- Internet Access features an identity-centered Secure Web Gateway (SWG) that functions similarly to a forward proxy. It not only protects against malware and other threats but also performs URL category filtering.
- Private Access is an identity-centered Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that allows granular and consistent access to non-public applications regardless of their location, implementing detailed context-based access control.
