ZERO TRUST NETWORK ACCESS

Secure access with zero trust brings connectivity, security and access controls together to help protect access across users, sites, applications and cloud environments. Instead of relying solely on the traditional network perimeter, zero trust principles verify access based on factors such as identity, device and policy, helping organizations apply appropriate access more consistently across distributed environments.

Secure access solutions can support organizations with distributed locations, remote or hybrid workforces, cloud applications and complex network environments. They can be especially useful for IT teams seeking more consistent security policies, centralized visibility and greater control across people, devices and applications.

Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) provides intelligent network connectivity, traffic routing and centralized control across distributed locations. Security Service Edge (SSE) delivers cloud-based security and access capabilities. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) brings SD-WAN and SSE capabilities together in a unified architecture to help connect and secure users, sites and applications.

Yes. Lumen secure access solutions can work across different network environments and access types.
