Secure Access provides security and access controls across all your internet and SaaS private applications—whether modern or legacy.

Private applications: Zero Trust Network Access provides granular, application-specific access to private resources in data centers and cloud environments. Access is denied by default and granted according to policy and context. For applications or traffic that aren’t suited to ZTNA, VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) provides secure private access, including support for legacy applications.

Internet and SaaS applications: Secure Web Gateway capabilities inspect and control web traffic to help protect users from malicious websites, infected files, phishing, ransomware, and other internet threats.

Cloud Access Security Broker: CASB capabilities provide visibility and control over SaaS application usage, helping organizations identify and manage sanctioned and unsanctioned applications.

Sensitive data: Data Loss Prevention provides controls designed to identify sensitive information and reduce unauthorized data movement across internet, SaaS, private application, and endpoint channels.

Generative and agentic AI: Secure Access provides visibility and controls for generative AI applications and model repositories. AI Access capabilities help organizations identify shadow AI, control how AI applications are used, and reduce risks such as sensitive data exposure.

Zero trust for agentic AI: Secure Access also extends zero trust security to agentic AI, providing controls for autonomous AI agents and their interactions with identities, applications, APIs, tools, and data.
