When government operations become digital and increasingly distributed, the need to publish and manage efficiency in the safety of the network across the field is more important. A new special report emphasizes the increasing importance of the edge of security service (SSE) as a major element in achieving this efficiency and modern government information security security rooms.
The report, produced and sponsored by the Scoup News Group and its sponsorship of CISCO, is why SSE Solutions became necessary for IT security operations. It describes how SSE Solutions has been composed in Cisco from CISCO, federal government agencies and new agencies, a new feature in cloud unified security.
An escalating internet threat scene
The report, titled “Government Security with the Edge of Security in CISCO”, indicates the increasing danger and the costs of the threats of the most advanced institutions today. In the fiscal year 2023 alone, federal agencies reported more than 32,200 information security incidents, costing billions of dollars to investigate and reform. For example, recent research from the Bonemmon Institute shows that the average cost of data breach in 2024 amounted to $ 4.88 million per accident, an increase of 10 % over the previous year.
The report says that the uncompromising development of digital solutions and the growing parties to the burdens of data work through local environments and multiple fluid environments. This provides electronic actors and the national state with new and growing opportunities to exploit the weaknesses of communication. According to the data of the Cisco Talos Threat Intelligence Group, the number of weaknesses and common exposure (CVES) facing security teams from 29,166 increased in 2023 to 40,289 in 2024.
At the same time, the traditional security tools that work in the agency silos are now less able to see the large image to discover these threats and deter them while continuing to need a lot of time and specialized employees to preserve them.
The rise of security service (SSE)
To combat these advanced threats, agencies are increasingly transferred to SSE to secure their applications and data. SSE embodies the convergence and unification of multiple safety technologies to the safety of a modern and delivery network safety, which caused users to reach applications and resources through many cases of use and environments.
“While federal agencies and government agencies have greatly improved the Safari security position over the past three years, experts agree that the implementation of an integrated security platform provides a comprehensive vision and monitoring that is still necessary to protect government data systems from increased attacks,” the report notes.
SSE technology, along with the capabilities of SD-Wan (an extensive network of software), provides a safe access service (SAS). According to Gartner, SASE has become a solution for a favorite technology and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of more than 30 % to 2027.
The report also indicates that, according to the newly IDC survey, 84.7 % of SSE/SAS buyer preferred or highly prefer a single seller for all SSE/SAS solution components.
This is one of the reasons why the SSE/SAS Solution is composed in Cisco is to attract the increasing attention among federal government agencies and the state government.
The main capabilities of the government SSE
The report highlights the main capabilities that should be on the radar of professionals in government information technology. To simplify the safety process of the managers, the solutions must include easy -to -use DNS protection along with:
Safe internet access: providing a safe internet gate (SIG), a safe web portal, and a cloud protection wall with SNORT 3.0, along with CASB (Safety Broker Access to the Cloud) and preventing data loss (DLP) for comprehensive protection. Special access for private access: Zero TRust Net Network (ZTNA), VPN-AS-A-Service (VPNAAS), and one console covering both safe access to the Internet and safe private access capabilities.
CISCO's SSE solution provides integrated solutions and cloud categorical with a uniform management of the DNS layer security. It accurately checks the user identity, evaluates the safety of the device, and imposes strict access control elements. It also monitors the movement of the network for harmful activity and prevents the threats proactive before they can access the user or application device.
“For nearly 40 years, CISCO enabled government agencies of all sizes to face distinguished security and compliance challenges,” says Jeff Chevir, Vice President for CISCO SSE. “We have profound visions of emerging threats and their impact on cybersecurity strategies. The importance of elastic cybersecurity that can be accessed is very important. SSE solutions in CISCO provide agencies with reliable security based on the cloud are decisive to maintain flexibility.”
The report also notes that the cloud control of CISCO (the solution of the cloud-based management that simplifies and centralizes the management of all factors of the safe protection wall models) CISCO) and the CISCO Splung platform (provides a widely-scale-scale data platform (SD-Wan) that helps to make competing decisions on the Saa network and fails to connect it to the Saas experience experience Cisco. Performance), and Cisco Duo (a strong approval based on the cloud and the vision of the device) are all important ingredients for the close strategies of government customers.
By standardizing multiple safety functions in one solution that was inserted from the cloud managed from one web interface and with one customer, the report concludes that Cisco SSE Solutions reduces the complexity of safety on the back interface of officials who have transparent safety for users in the front end.
