Gartner\u2019s SSE Magic Quadrant for 2023 identifies 10 key vendors currently providing secure service edge capabilities for the enterprise market. In this guide, we\u2019ll summarize the common factors shared among leading SSE vendors, discuss what separates them from niche players, and share advice for connecting your edge network to SSE solutions via an SD-WAN on-ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

    What is Security Service Edge (SSE)?<\/h2>\n

    Security service edge (SSE)<\/a> is a cloud-centric security methodology for protecting edge network traffic. It rolls up technologies like Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)<\/a>, and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) into a single service. These technologies offer threat protection, security monitoring, access control, and data governance.<\/p>\n

    What is the need for SSE?<\/h2>\n

    With the frequency and severity of ransomware attacks<\/a> and other cybercrimes increasing daily, security is a major priority for any organization. To protect your enterprise from cyber threats, you need to be able to extend your security policies and controls to all the remote and geographically distributed systems at your network edge. Historically, that meant backhauling all remote traffic through your primary firewall, which would inevitably cause performance issues for everyone on the network. This is frustrating and can greatly impact the business when much of your remote traffic is destined for cloud and web resources that aren\u2019t even on your enterprise network.<\/p>\n

    SSE solves this problem by taking advanced enterprise security technologies and making them available as a cloud-based service. You can use SD-WAN with intelligent routing (more on that later) to send remote and branch office traffic through your SSE stack. This allows you to apply consistent policies and controls to your enterprise and edge traffic while reducing bottlenecks and increasing overall network performance.
