Access resilience protects business continuity.
One converged, zero-trust platform from Cisco — delivered and supported by Ctelecoms — that secures every user, every device, and every application across the hybrid enterprise, from a single console.
Hybrid work outgrew the old access model.
Users, devices and applications no longer sit inside one perimeter. When access is stitched together from separate tools, complexity — not attackers — becomes the biggest source of risk.
Policy complexity
Separate tools for VPN, internet, SaaS and private access mean enforcement drifts and gaps quietly open up.
Identity under attack
Credentials and sessions — not just the network — are now the primary target for attackers.
Shadow AI
Employees adopt generative AI faster than security teams can govern it, risking silent data leakage.
Unmanaged devices
Contractors, partners and BYOD are now routine — each one a new gap in traditional access control.
Cisco Secure Access converges internet security, SaaS control, private application access and VPN-as-a-Service into a single cloud-delivered platform — enforced consistently, from one console.
Built to be amazing for IT — and invisible to users.
Every capability below solves a specific operational problem, from identity attacks to AI governance to the 2am policy change nobody wants to troubleshoot.
Hybrid Private Access (HPA)
Enforce ZTNA policy in the cloud or on-premises, with local enforcement designed to minimize latency from cloud backhauls — performance and least-privilege access, together.
Zero trustIdentity-first defense
Cisco Secure Access integrates with Cisco Duo and Cisco Identity Intelligence to strengthen protection against identity-based attacks. In independent SE Labs testing, Zero Trust Access from Cisco achieved 100% detection and 100% protection across 30 tested attacks.
Duo + CIIGenerative AI governance
See exactly which AI apps and model repositories your teams use, and apply policy before sensitive data leaves — without slowing adoption down.
Shadow AIAgentic AI intent detection
As AI agents take on more of the workflow, Secure Access helps detect and govern agentic activity, adding a layer of visibility and control alongside traditional security inspection.
EmergingPolicy verification
Test policy changes before they go live. Catch the misconfiguration that would have caused an outage — before users start calling IT.
Change confidenceDigital experience monitoring
Experience Insights, powered by ThousandEyes, shows IT in seconds whether an issue sits with the network, the app, or the endpoint.
ThousandEyesAny device, any user
Client-based and clientless access for managed laptops, BYOD, and contractors alike — consistent policy without extending risk.
BYOD readySaaS & shadow IT visibility
Granular visibility into every SaaS app in use — sanctioned or not — with policy that closes the gaps shadow IT quietly opens.
CASBOne console, one client
Internet, SaaS, private access and VPNaaS — deployed, monitored and enforced from a single console and one unified Cisco Secure Client.
