Security Edge to protect users wherever they connect.

Apply consistent security policies at the network edge so branch, campus, and remote users stay protected on and off your corporate network.

Policy at the edge Protect roaming & branch users Built for cloud & SaaS

Security where users actually are

With more work happening outside the traditional perimeter, Security Edge helps you move protections closer to devices and cloud apps instead of just the data center.

Secure browsing and SaaS access from any location.
Consistent policies whether traffic breaks out locally or at a hub.
Visibility into user, app, and threat activity at the edge.

Edge‑based security for a cloud‑first world

As traffic shifts from data centers to the internet and SaaS, traditional perimeter models leave gaps. Security Edge brings security controls closer to where users and devices connect.

Use it to enforce policies across branches, home offices, guest Wi‑Fi, and roaming users without forcing all traffic back through a central location.

What Security Edge delivers

Secure user internet and cloud access with policy‑driven controls at the edge of your network.

Secure web gateway

Inspect and filter web traffic, block risky categories, and stop downloads from known‑bad sites.

Threat & malware protection

Scan traffic for malware, phishing attempts, and command‑and‑control callbacks.

Policy‑based access

Apply policies by user, group, device type, or location so access reflects business intent.

Guest & IoT segmentation

Separate guest, employee, and device traffic and apply different levels of inspection and access.

Remote user protection

Extend edge protections to home or mobile workers so they are covered even offsite.

Visibility & analytics

See which apps are used, where threats come from, and how policies affect user experience.

A building block of SASE

Security Edge complements SD‑WAN and cloud security services as part of a Secure Access Service Edge architecture, converging security and networking into a unified design.

Consistent policies: Define rules once and apply them wherever traffic exits to the internet.
Identity‑aware: Tie controls to user identities and device posture, not just IP addresses.
Cloud‑ready: Secure direct‑to‑cloud and SaaS access without backhauling traffic.

Works with SD‑WAN Solutions

Combine Security Edge with SD‑WAN to select the best path and apply the right security policy for each application and user flow.

Use cases for branches, campuses, and remote work

Retail & branch offices

Secure local internet breakout at stores and branches while keeping critical corporate apps prioritized.

Remote & hybrid workers

Extend corporate web and SaaS protections to employees working from home or on the road.

Headquarters & campuses

Apply consistent policies across main sites, guest networks, and specialized labs or facilities.

Benefits of Security Edge

Stronger protection for users everywhere. Stop threats at the point where users connect, not just in the data center.

Consistent experience. Keep security in place without adding cumbersome steps for legitimate users.

Scales with growth. Add branches and remote users without dramatically increasing complexity.

Easier operations. Centralized management and reporting simplify how you operate edge protections.

Where Security Edge fits best

Education & campuses

Provide safe internet access for students and staff while limiting risky content.

Hospitality & venues

Secure guest Wi‑Fi and back‑of‑house traffic with different policies.

Manufacturing & OT

Guard connected devices and plants as they send data to cloud analytics.

Security Edge FAQs

How is Security Edge different from a traditional firewall?

Traditional firewalls sit at a central point in your network. Security Edge extends policies and inspection closer to where traffic exits to the internet, including branches and remote users.

Does Security Edge require SD‑WAN?

It can operate on its own, but pairing Security Edge with SD‑WAN gives you more control over how and where traffic is inspected and which path it takes.
