Security Edge

Secure access to corporate applications, from any location

Working outside the office can entail security threats, but now, with our Security Edge, you can browse securely and access your digital assets from any location and device.

What is Telefónica Global Solutions’ Security Edge?

The progressive digitalisation and relocation of the workstation requires new approaches to security

The work environment is no longer physically confined to an office. The digitalisation of the processes and applications to enable this relocation has expanded companies’ possibilities of acquiring talent, but they have also exposed themselves to vulnerabilities in relation to cyber-security and connectivity, which must be resolved in order not to lose the significant operational efficiencies that this new model has brought.

Security Edge meets this need for structural improvement of remote workstation security thanks to being a highly configurable and fully managed service that protects connectivity across the entire perimeter of the company, from users to the applications they use, regardless of where they are deployed (SaaS, IaaS or CPDs)

Telefónica Global Solutions’ Security Edge responds to these challenges.

This solution combines and consolidates the main network security functions in a single cloud security platform and offers different technological alternatives

Benefits of Security Edge

Do you know everything it can do for your business?

Security Edge provides secure access against phishing and malware risks and to the Internet and to your corporate applications, whether they are deployed as Software as a Service (SaaS), in the infrastructure of a Cloud provider (IaaS) or at the company’s Data Centres (DC), for all employees regardless of their location or the device used.

Security Edge is a fully managed service deployed in the Cloud that requires minimum interaction both by you and by the end users.

Easy integration with our connectivity services and especially with SD-WAN, allowing our customers to benefit from a convergent SASE model easily and quickly.

 

The service includes SSL native traffic inspection, compatible with the latest encryption algorithms, thereby protecting both users who simply browse and those who use corporate applications with the same security as though they were in your company’s buildings.

Its Zero-Touch deployment does not require specific IT staff.
