Fragmethed SSE is a risk that you can’t afford

When your police live in power, your security as well.

I talk to many security leaders who think they have “modernized” because they have a secure web gate (SWG) from one supplier from one and zero network credibility (ZTNA) from a third. Paper, it looks like a strong magazine. In practice, it is a maze of the console, reducing rules and spaces where politicians simply monitor users.

In a fast -moving environment, it is more than an inconvenience; It’s a responsibility. One missed update, one balanced set of rules and your “secure” architecture turns into open Doror. If your Security Service Edge (SSE) platform cannot rest in the police everywhere, it’s not the way you think it is.

As we go here: The Point Product Trap

Recently there was a “Best of Breed” strategy. Organizations built skills such as SWG, CASB and ZTNA from various suppliers, Loyering in Domain name (DNS) Security, Firewall Services and more.

These tools worked individually. Together they created a patchwork that requires constant integration work, duplicate principles and endless problems. Many cannot even share a model of common identity or the context of the threat.

Results?

• The principles you monitor users
• Inconsistent access experience
• Visibility gaps that hide risk activity and slow response

One policy production, one security pipeline

Cisco Secure Access will change it.

One-time is SWG, CASB, ZTNA, DNS-Layer Security and Firewall Services within a single political engine for cloud-native. Whether the user connects to the sanctioned SAAS application from the administered notebook or the sensitive internal system from the phone will bring its own devices (byod), the same policy follows – automatically and in real time.

This is not a dashboard quilted-togger. It’s a united architecture with:

• Shared identity and posture
• Consists of a transport context
• One policy you write once and apply everywhere

Result: sweeping the principles that move with the user not only with the network.

Why matters of united policy

There are three benefits from customer conversations repeatedly:

• Fewer errors, faster reactions – One political level means fewer incorrect configurations and faster incident retention
• Better user experience – Fewer agents, less latency and fewer unsaid blocks
• A stronger attitude of security – complete visibility support involves zero confidence

An example of a real world

The Global Health Organization has recently replaced fragmented SSE settings with Cisco’s safe access. The number of policies has reduced from 700+ just 74More importantly, they have closed the gaps where SAAS has been inconsistently controlled, threatening patient data.

Now their policy is monitored by users across each application and type of connection, reducing risk and operational direction in this process.

Way forward: Unification as a survival strategy

Security teams protect more than ever: remote work, hybrid data flows, IoT and OT and AIT agents. Each adds complexity and complexity is an enemy of effective safety.

Unification is not only pleasant; This is how you keep protection without burning your team. When each check shares the same context, Smart is smarter, faster and more reliable.

Cisco Secure Access is built for this moment

Cisco Secure Access provides tea The Unified SSE Platform Enterprises now needs, simplify policy management, strengthens security and improve user experience. It is not just about replacing point tools. It is about replacing the point tool of thinking with something stronger, faster and built for how the work is happening today.

Are you ready to leave the patchwork behind?

See how Cisco Secure Access can unify your SSE and ensure that policy follows users wherever they go.
