Cisco Zero Trust Access

What is Zero Trust Access and How can We Help?

Cisco Secure Access: Comprehensive Zero Trust

Cisco Secure Access is a cloud-delivered Zero Trust security solution that protects users, devices, applications, and AI-driven workloads against modern cyber threats. It provides seamless, secure access to corporate and public applications while ensuring compliance, visibility, and adaptive policy enforcement.

This solution eliminates implicit trust and enforces continuous verification through multi-layered security mechanisms, including Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Access, Firewall, DNS Security, CASB, IPS, DLP, and Remote Browser Isolation.

We have implemented Zero Trust and Microsegmentation projects for organizations with over 1 Million endpoints. Let us help with your next engagement.

Key Components of Cisco Secure Access

 

Secure Web Gateway (SWG)

✔ Cloud-based web traffic inspection and filtering ✔ Protects against malware, phishing, and data exfiltration ✔ Blocks unwanted web content & enforces compliance policies ✔ Enforces Zero Trust access to internet applications

 

Zero Trust Access (ZTA)

✔ Ensures least-privilege access based on identity, device, and behavior ✔ Eliminates reliance on VPNs and traditional perimeter security ✔ Provides secure application access without exposing networks ✔ Integrates with Cisco Duo MFA and endpoint security tools

 

Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)

✔ Cloud-delivered firewall protection with advanced threat prevention ✔ Blocks intrusions, malware, and unauthorized network traffic ✔ Works with hybrid cloud & multi-cloud environments ✔ Scalable, centralized firewall policy enforcement

 

DNS Security

✔ Protects against malicious domains and phishing attacks ✔ Blocks command & control (C2) callbacks from compromised endpoints ✔ Integrates with Cisco Umbrella for AI-powered domain filtering ✔ Reduces risk from AI-generated threats and emerging attack vectors

 

Security for AI & Cloud Workloads

✔ Protects AI-driven applications and cloud workloads from cyber threats ✔ Monitors AI-generated traffic to detect malicious behavior ✔ Provides AI-enhanced threat intelligence for predictive security ✔ Integrates with Cisco Tetration for workload microsegmentation

 

Public Access Security

✔ Secures guest users, remote workers, and public Wi-Fi access ✔ Enforces zero trust principles for untrusted networks ✔ Prevents unauthorized lateral movement ✔ Enhances visibility into unmanaged devices accessing applications

 

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Detects & controls unsanctioned cloud applications (shadow IT) ✔ Protects SaaS applications (Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Salesforce, AWS, etc.) ✔ Enforces DLP & compliance policies on cloud file sharing ✔ Provides real-time visibility and adaptive access control

 

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

✔ Detects and blocks network-based threats in real time ✔ Identifies and mitigates zero-day vulnerabilities ✔ Uses threat intelligence from Cisco Talos to enhance protection ✔ Works seamlessly with Cisco Secure Firewall for unified defense

 

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

✔ Prevents accidental or malicious data exfiltration ✔ Enforces data compliance policies (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS) ✔ Monitors email, web, and cloud file sharing for sensitive data ✔ Uses AI-driven risk analysis for adaptive DLP enforcement

 

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)

✔ Isolates web browsing sessions in a secure, cloud-hosted environment ✔ Prevents zero-day attacks and drive-by malware infections ✔ Shields end users from phishing & malicious web content ✔ Works with Secure Web Gateway to enforce safe browsing policies

 

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)

✔ Provides real-time monitoring of user experience across applications ✔ Detects network latency, performance issues, and outages ✔ Enhances troubleshooting with AI-driven analytics ✔ Improves incident response time by correlating network and security events
