Driving client success with secure network access
Enhancing healthcare security with MFA and ZTNA
Context: Healthcare organisations, like the NHS, must safeguard sensitive patient data while enabling secure access for both remote and on-site workers.
Solution: By implementing MFA and ZTNA, organisations can significantly strengthen security by verifying users and devices. Additionally, MFA prevents unauthorised access, while ZTNA enforces strict, role-based access controls to ensure only authorised personnel can access critical systems.
Benefit: This combination reduces vulnerabilities, mitigates cyber threats like ransomware, and ensures compliance with data protection regulations. It also enables healthcare professionals to work flexibly and securely, supporting efficient and safe workflows.
Strengthening local government security with SSE
Context: Local councils need a scalable and cost-effective solution to secure cloud-based applications and data, especially as remote work and cloud adoption continue to grow.
Solution: SSE consolidates essential security functions, including Secure Web Gateways (SWG) and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), into a unified platform. This ensures secure access to cloud services like Office 365 while simplifying security management.
Benefit: SSE protects against cyber threats, enforces robust data access controls, and reduces the burden on IT teams. It ensures compliance with regulations such as GDPR while enabling seamless and secure access for both remote and on-site staff.
Optimising retail operations with SASE
Context: Retailers with multiple locations require secure, high-performance access to manage inventory, point-of-sale systems, and customer data across both physical stores and e-commerce platforms.
Solution: SASE integrates SD-WAN, ZTNA, SWG, and CASB into a unified solution, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity across all locations and cloud services.
Benefit: SASE optimises network performance, secures cloud applications, and enforces granular access controls based on user roles, ensuring only authorised employees can access sensitive data. This scalable solution enhances security, boosts employee productivity, and improves the overall customer shopping experience.

IAM frequently asked questions
General Questions
What is Identity Access Management (IAM)?
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework of policies, technology and processes that ensures that business users have secure, appropriate access to their systems, apps and data. It is used to manage user identities, authentication and permissions, while keeping an organisation safe.
What is Secure Network Access?
Secure Network Access enhances user security, simplifies network access management, and improves the user experience, regardless of whether access is from the cloud, on-premises, or remotely. Solutions can include No-Touch VPN as a Service (VPNaaS), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Firewall as a Service (FWaaS).
Why is Secure Network Access important?
Secure Network Access is essential for businesses of all sizes, offering protection and flexibility whether you’re a small startup or a large, multi-site organisation. For small businesses, it safeguards customer data and critical assets, reducing the risk of costly breaches and downtime. Larger organisations also benefit from streamlined access across multiple sites, allowing secure and efficient entry for employees and contractors while ensuring sensitive areas remain protected.
Secure Network Access isn’t just about security—it’s about enabling smooth, compliant operations. With a zero-trust approach, every access request is verified, keeping digital and physical environments safe, efficient, and agile.
What are the types of Access Management?
There are several types of Access Management, each designed to control and restrict user access to systems, apps and data. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) assigns permission based on a user’s role, meaning they only have access to what is necessary to carry out their job. RuBAC allows access based on rules such as time of day or location.
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is generally used in high security environments when access is centrally controlled, and users cannot modify permissions. Discretionary Access Control (DAC) allows data owners to grant or restrict access to individual users. Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) is dynamic and can provides access based on attributes such as device type or user identity. Each Access Management type is designed to solve specific security needs, and help organisations protect sensitive and confidential data.
What is ZTNA?
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security model that enforces strict verification of users and devices before granting access to applications, regardless of their location. It continuously verifies identity and device health while applying least privilege access. ZTNA enhances security by isolating resources and reducing reliance on traditional perimeter defences.
What is the difference between SSE and SASE?
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-based framework that brings together networking and security services to ensure secure connectivity across various environments. By combining technologies such as Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN), Secure Web Gateways (SWG), Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), SASE enhances network performance, security posture and improves the overall user experience.
Security Services Edge (SSE) is focuses on cloud-centric security services and functions. It safeguards access to applications and data for remote users, without the networking optimisation focus included in SASE. SSE integrates security features like ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) to provide robust protection in cloud environments.
To summarise, SASE delivers an all-in-one solution that tackles both connectivity and security requirements. Meanwhile, SSE focuses on providing specific security measures aimed at safeguarding users and resources in a cloud-centric environment.
