How does Cisco Secure Access work?

Secure Access evaluates who or what is requesting access, what resource is being accessed, and relevant security context before applying policy. This allows organizations to control access based on identity, device posture, application, destination, risk, and other contextual information rather than relying primarily on a user’s location on the corporate network.

Private applications: Zero Trust Network Access provides granular, application-specific access to private resources in data centers and cloud environments.
