Coming to me in the form of Sonicwall’s Cloud Secure Edge (at a monthly, per-user cost), I understand the basics of what they say it’s going to do, but I also have been doing this long enough to understand when someone’s using a lot of buzzwords and scare tactics to hype a much simpler concept that I feel I am not as much up on. I would welcome any and all comments from those of you with any experience in implementing/utilizing/understanding SSE. Thanks in advance!
It’s probably IPsec, not ssl.
Enterprise grade firewalls should be cert, MFA or SAML. I wouldn’t expect a simple username/password in use today.
It’s not more or less secure than the same setup on an in-house firewall.
