Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cisco Secure Access?
Cisco Secure Access is a solution that provides identity-verified access to applications and implements micro-segmentation across your network. It is designed to enhance security by adopting Zero Trust principles.
How does this deployment differ from a standard VPN?
Unlike traditional VPNs that grant broad network access, Cisco Secure Access verifies user identity for each application request and enforces granular access policies. This significantly reduces the attack surface and limits lateral movement.
What is micro-segmentation?
Micro-segmentation involves dividing your network into smaller, isolated zones. This prevents attackers who gain access to one part of the network from easily moving to other sensitive areas.
Who is this service for?
This service is for SMB and mid-market businesses looking to improve their security posture by implementing advanced access controls and network segmentation. It is ideal for IT Managers and IT Professionals.
