Cybersecurity Toolbox: What is SSE?

This episode discusses why traditional security models like VPNs and on-premise firewalls are insufficient for the modern, cloud-centric workforce. Host Katherine explains that the Secure Service Edge (SSE) is the new industry standard, acting as the security pillar of the broader SASE framework. The episode breaks down the four core SSE components: ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and FWaaS—and explains how their unified approach delivers superior security, simplified management, and improved user experience. Ultimately, the show argues that adopting SSE is a strategic imperative to secure and accelerate the business in a distributed world.
