How Do I Choose the Right SSE Vendor?
Jan Willem Behrens explains
Enterprises can no longer afford to rely solely on traditional network security solutions. With the emergence of SSE (Security Service Edge), a cloud-native offering combining SWG, CASB and ZTNA - organizations now have an opportunity to unify their networks with superior threat detection capabilities. Yet not all vendors are alike; so when considering which provider is right for your enterprise, there are five key considerations that should be taken into account: architecture, convergence scope & management ease; protection & detection from threats; as well as resiliency qualities. Make sure you're aware of these attributes before weighing up different options in order to make a more informed decision about selecting your ideal SSE vendor!
Total Visibility and Control Across All Edges and All traffic
Total Visibility and Control Across All Edges and All Traffic
With SSE solutions, enterprises can enforce unified security policies across their entire environment. However, certain SSEs may limit visibility only to web applications or fail to inspect private application traffic - resulting in potential gaps and incomplete protection of the enterprise network.
Global Footprint with High-Performance Security
To ensure top-tier performance and security, SSE cloud services are available worldwide with an average latency of 25ms. Strategic PoPs enable robust compute capabilities while providing low-latency inspections on encrypted traffic through decryption/reencryption procedures. These physical points maximize network control over routing availability and introduce a private global backbone to further enhance the middle mile journey from WANs to cloud destinations.
Converged Management and Analytics in a Single Pane of Glass
Unlock the full potential of your SSE platform with a single pane of glass. Create finely tuned policies using all available device, identity, network and application data to safeguard users from threats plus monitor events on access for both people and applications. Track everything through comprehensive analytics dashboards tailored just for you.
Future-proof and Resilient SSE Service
To keep up with advancing customer needs, the SSE cloud service must have a flexible architecture that can add new features while preserving security. A single-pass infrastructure enables our offering to quickly meet modern requirements without disruption. Our comprehensive scalability keeps pace even as growth quickens and expands for more users or bandwidth. Meanwhile, embedded resiliency ensures optimal performance is protected against failure across any number of points in its deployment framework.
Seamless Path to SASE Convergence
By combining networking solutions like SD-WAN and WAN optimization with a cloud-based security service, organizations can reap the many benefits of SASE. This unified platform eliminates bulky edge appliances such as routers and firewalls for greater visibility into the end-to-end connection managed by one application. As this convergence is achieved gradually, businesses have time to become comfortable with their transformation - allowing them to maximize their advantages without disrupting daily operations or hindering progress.
Cato SSE 360 vs. SSE: Choosing the Right Solution
When choosing an SSE vendor, it's important to understand the services they provide. Traditional solutions often offer a mix of secure web gateways (SWG), CASB/DLP and ZTNA as cloud-native offerings - albeit with limited visibility into WAN traffic. Cato's SSE 360 stands out from its competitors by leveraging total visibility and control over all internet, WAN and cloud pathways for improved security outcomes.
