Cisco Secure Access overview

Modernize security to minimize risk and empower your teams. Cisco Secure Access delivers seamless, secure connectivity for all users and devices—anywhere—while simplifying control and enhancing experiences for users and IT.

Enable secure remote access to all private apps

ZTNA leverages least-privilege principles, contextual insights, and client or clientless-based methods to deny access by default and allow access to apps when granted. VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) extends coverage to non-ZTNA-enabled apps.

Protect SaaS and internet access

Safeguard access to SaaS apps and the internet, keeping users productive while combating shadow IT and exposing shadow AI—flowing from the skyrocketing use of AI. Gain granular visibility and control to prevent unauthorized app usage and reduce exposure.

Defend against identity-based security threats

Strengthen authentication, detect anomalies, and stop identity-driven attacks before they impact your environment.  Secure Access, augmented by Duo and identity intelligence, infuses rich identity context into layered security defenses, tightening your security posture.

 

Monitor digital experience for rapid issue resolution

Experience Insights, powered by ThousandEyes, delivers end-to-end digital experience monitoring for users and apps. Quickly identify and resolve issues with deep visibility into network, application, and user performance.
