Cyber security

Advanced Security to protect your network, users, and data.

Make security part of your network with on‑premises and cloud‑delivered protections that help defend against ransomware, malware, and intrusion attempts.

Multi‑layer protection Intelligent threat detection Built for SD‑WAN environments

Part of a SASE‑aligned design

Advanced Security aligns with Secure Access Service Edge principles to bring together connectivity and security for your branches, data centers, and remote users.

Integrates with SD‑WAN for policy‑driven protection.
Supports both on‑premises and cloud‑hosted security functions.
Backed by specialists to help you configure and tune controls.

Make security part of your network fabric

Instead of bolting security on as an afterthought, Advanced Security lets you build protections into how traffic flows between locations, data centers, clouds, and users.

Choose on‑premises unified security, cloud‑delivered protection, or a mix of both to match branch, campus, and remote‑user requirements.

What Advanced Security can do for you

Combine multiple security capabilities into a single solution that protects users, locations, and applications wherever they connect.

Next‑gen firewalling

Inspect traffic at the application level, enforce granular policies, and block known malicious patterns at the edge.

Malware & ransomware defense

Identify and stop known and emerging threats with signature‑based and behavioral analysis engines.

Intrusion detection & prevention

Monitor for suspicious behavior and exploit attempts, then block or alert before they spread across the network.

Secure remote access

Provide encrypted access for remote workers and sites with policy‑based controls and strong authentication.

Web & content filtering

Control access to risky categories and stop users from downloading or posting unsafe content.

Data loss protections

Add advanced inspection to help prevent sensitive data from leaving your environment unintentionally.

On‑premises or cloud‑delivered security – or both

Unified Security on‑premises

Ideal when you want security functions to run on or near your local network hardware.

• Advanced firewall and intrusion prevention at the site.
• Inspection of site‑to‑site traffic across your WAN.
• Centralized visibility into per‑site security logs.

Unified Secure Access in the cloud

Best when users and apps are distributed and you want cloud‑based enforcement close to where traffic enters the internet.

• Cloud security enforcement for remote and branch users.
• Easy access to performance and security telemetry.
• Optional advanced controls like sandboxing and DLP.

Managed Secure Service Edge (SSE) options

Extend Advanced Security into a full Secure Service Edge experience that converges network security in the cloud for all users and sites.

Cloud‑delivered firewall: Enforce policies closer to users and SaaS applications.
Cloud access security broker (CASB): Gain visibility and control over SaaS and cloud usage.
Zero‑trust network access (ZTNA): Replace or complement VPN with application‑level access policies.

Co‑managed or fully managed

Choose whether your team co‑manages policies with specialists or offloads day‑to‑day operations entirely to a managed security team.

Benefits of Advanced Security

Reduce risk from modern attacks. Stay ahead of evolving threats with continuously updated controls and intelligence.

Improve visibility. Gain centralized insight into activity across sites, users, and applications.

Support compliance. Enforce access controls, logging, and data‑handling policies that align with regulatory frameworks.

Scale with your network. Add sites, users, and cloud destinations without redesigning your entire security stack.

Built for security‑sensitive industries

Healthcare

Help protect clinical apps, EMR, and connected devices while supporting privacy requirements.

Financial services

Safeguard payment systems, trading platforms, and customer data from internal and external threats.

Retail & multi‑site

Protect POS, inventory, and guest Wi‑Fi across distributed locations with consistent policies.

Advanced Security FAQs

How is Advanced Security different from a basic firewall?

Basic firewalls mainly filter traffic by port or IP address. Advanced Security adds application awareness, threat intelligence, behavioral analysis, and cloud‑delivered services for more complete protection.

Do I need on‑premises or cloud‑delivered security?

Many organizations use both: on‑premises functions for local traffic and cloud‑delivered services for roaming users and SaaS applications. Your design can be tailored to your footprint and risk profile.
