Secure Edge

Secure access for the way your business works now.

Connect your people securely to the applications and data they need, wherever they work, through identity-led access, SASE and Zero Trust Network Access.

Zero Trust access Secure hybrid working Centralised policy and visibility
People and devices

Work from anywhere

Give approved users and trusted devices a reliable route to the services they need.

Secure Edge

Verify every connection

Apply identity, device, security and access policies before users reach business applications.

Applications and data

Protect what matters

Control access to cloud services, private applications and wider business infrastructure.

Why Secure Edge?

Traditional VPNs were not built for the way businesses work now.

Users no longer work from one office or access applications from one network. Secure Edge applies protection around the user, device and connection, wherever work happens.

01

Legacy remote access

Older VPNs can create slow connections, broad network access, increased support demand and limited visibility.

02

Hybrid working

People accessing systems from different networks, locations and devices can lead to inconsistent security controls.

03

Cloud-first applications

Routing every cloud connection back through an office or data centre can affect performance and add unnecessary complexity.

04

Identity-led attacks

A valid username and password should not automatically provide broad access to business systems and data.

05

Compliance and visibility

Distributed access is harder to govern without centralised policy, reporting and visibility across connections.

Security that follows your users.

Identity Confirm who is requesting access.
Device Check the security and trust status.
Context Assess location, behaviour and risk.
Application Grant only the access that is needed.
SASE and ZTNA

A simpler way to connect security and access.

Secure Edge brings networking and security controls together. Access is based on who the user is, whether their device can be trusted and which application they are authorised to use.

01

Secure Access Service Edge

SASE brings network connectivity and cloud-delivered security services into one managed architecture.

Secure web access Cloud-delivered security policies Protection across locations and devices Centralised visibility and management
02

Zero Trust Network Access

ZTNA gives users access to approved applications without placing them broadly onto the underlying business network.

Verify each access request Apply least-privilege access Reduce exposure of internal networks Replace or reduce reliance on legacy VPNs
One managed platform

Multiple security and connectivity controls working together.

Instead of managing separate products for each access and security requirement, Secure Edge brings the core controls into one centrally managed service.

Fifosys helps design, implement and manage the platform, policies and ongoing support around your users and applications.

01

Zero Trust Network Access

Give users application-level access based on identity, device and defined policy.

02

Secure web gateway

Apply filtering and security controls to web activity wherever the user is working.

03

DNS security

Block connections to malicious or inappropriate destinations before they create wider risk.

04

Device posture

Check whether devices meet security requirements before granting access to protected applications.

05

Cloud firewall

Apply consistent network and security policies without routing every connection through one physical location.

06

Centralised reporting

Improve visibility over users, connections, applications, policy decisions and security events.

How access works

Verify first. Then grant the right level of access.

Each access request is assessed against the policies agreed for your business. The user receives access to the application they need without automatically receiving broad access to the wider network.

01

The user requests access

An employee attempts to connect to an approved business application from their current location.

02

Identity is verified

The platform confirms the user’s identity using the appropriate authentication and access controls.

03

The device is assessed

Device security and compliance can be checked before the connection is approved.

04

Policy is applied

The request is assessed against factors such as role, device, location, application and current risk.

05

Application access is granted

The user receives a secure connection to the approved application without being placed broadly onto the network.

06

The session remains visible

Connection activity can be monitored and access can be adjusted or removed when circumstances change.

Business outcomes

Secure access without adding unnecessary complexity.

Secure Edge gives your teams a more consistent way to connect while helping IT improve control, visibility and management.

01

Improve employee experience

Give users smoother, more reliable access without depending on clunky legacy access methods.

02

Reduce IT overhead

Consolidate access and security controls to simplify administration and reduce support demand.

03

Strengthen compliance readiness

Improve policy enforcement, reporting and visibility across users, devices and applications.

04

Scale securely

Apply consistent controls as the business adds employees, locations, devices and cloud applications.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about Secure Edge.

Secure Edge is an approach that brings cloud-delivered networking, security and access controls together. It helps protect connections between users, devices and business applications, regardless of location.
SASE is the wider architecture that combines networking and cloud-delivered security services. ZTNA is one part of that approach. It controls access to individual applications based on identity, device and policy.
ZTNA can replace many traditional VPN use cases, particularly where users need access to specific applications. Some legacy systems may still require existing access methods during a phased transition.
It should make routine access smoother when designed properly. Approved users and trusted devices can connect directly to the applications they need without manually navigating a traditional VPN process.
Yes. Access can be based on factors such as role, department, device, location, application and current risk. This helps apply least-privilege access across the business.
Yes. Fifosys can support the initial assessment, platform design, implementation, policy configuration, user migration and ongoing management of the Secure Edge service.
