Symantec Secure Access Cloud is a SaaS solution that enables more secure and granular access management to any corporate resource hosted on-premises or in the cloud. It uses Zero Trust Access principles in delivering point-to-point connectivity without agents or appliances, eliminating network level threats.
The addition of Luminate’s Software Defined Perimeter technology further extends the power of the Symantec Integrated Cyber Defense Platform to deliver protection for the Cloud Generation. Symantec Secure Access Cloud cloaks all corporate resources on the network, fully isolating data centers from the end-users and the internet. The network-level attack surface is entirely removed, leaving no room for lateral movement and network-based threats, unlike the broad network access legacy solutions such as VPNs and NGFWs.
Secure Access Cloud provides point-to-point connectivity at the application level, cloaking all resources from the end-user devices and the internet. The network-level attack surface is entirely removed, leaving no room for lateral movement and network-based threats. Its simple-to-set, fine-grained and easy-to-manage access and activity policies prevent unauthorized access to the corporate resources by implementing continuous, contextual (user, device and resource-based context) authorization to enterprise applications allowing secured employee, partners and BYOD access.
Minimize deployment hassle and ongoing maintenance with Secure Access Cloud. There are no endpoint agents to install, appliances to deploy, or complex policies to manage. Delivered as-a-service, Secure Access Cloud dynamically scales up or down, for all of your users, applications workloads and servers. Gain true elasticity in its computing resources while supporting the dynamic, distributed nature of your modern enterprise.
Secure Access Cloud takes access policies further with activity monitoring and enforcement. The exact actions a specific user/group can perform in a specific application can be defined through its granular activity policies. Every user action performed at the application-level is monitored and logged – including URLs accessed and SSH commands executed. All audit logs are tied to the individual user accounts and devices and can be exported to your SIEM to receive additional application level context.
By limiting network-level access and providing least-privilege, user and device-based access to production, staging and development environments, Secure Access Cloud lets DevOps securely manage their dynamic infrastructures while continuing to use their native tools. With Secure Access Cloud, DevOps can centrally manage SSH keys and monitor user’s sessions while allowing Just-in-Time and Just-Enough Access to the environments. Secure Access Cloud’s API-driven platform enables DevOps to easily integrate with CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code and other solutions.
