Security Service Edge (SSE)
Managed network security for the next generation of hybrid working.
Establish a streamlined, scalable network security posture, with secure user access from all devices and locations and automatic application of corporate security policies
Protect from cyber threats
Why Traditional Network Security Struggles to
Support Modern ways of Working.
The interconnected nature of modern workflows means seamless connectivity for staff utilising numerous devices and SaaS applications across highly dispersed locations is essential. However, legacy infrastructure was not designed with this level of performance and availability in mind, often introducing unwanted latency and complexity. Furthermore, diverse working practices often create gaps in network security that can easily be exploited by bad actors, allowing them backdoor access to critical data and infrastructure.
Security Service Edge (SSE) offers a new approach to network security - one where corporate security policies are automatically applied whenever and wherever users are connecting from, across any device.
What is Security Service Edge (SSE)?
SSE is a Cloud-based network security framework that consolidates multiple critical security functions - including (but not limited to)
Zero-Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, and SaaS Data Loss Prevention - into a single, highly scalable solution. This way, user enjoy highly secure access to the internet Cloud platforms, and key applications (including AI platforms) while still maintaining the highest standards of cyber security at all times.
Implement modern hybrid working models - with highly secure access to critical applications and a superior user experience for employees, contractors and partners.
Simplify security ecosystems - by consolidating multiple functions in a single, Cloud-based platform, with a centralised view of all users, applications, and network activity.
Embrace zero-trust principles - with identity-based access, continuous verification, and encrypted connections, consistently applied across all users and devices.
Strengthen policy enforcement and risk management - while simultaneously reducing operational complexity via intelligent automation and advanced analytics.

A twenty-year heritage of delivering secure connectivity.
For more than twenty years, Exponential-e has been working closely with organisations across the UK to ensure that their foundational connectivity remains a powerful driver for innovation and business growth rather than simply an operational expense. We supported numerous public and private sector organisations throughout the transition to hybrid working and combine this deep experience with an evolving solution wrap that delivers both an exceptional user experience and ironclad security - the best of all worlds.
To this end, we work with a select group of trusted technology partners - including Cisco and Fortinet - and take a rigorous, consultative approach to every SSE deployment, working closely with all stakeholders to design and deliver a solution that perfectly complements the customer’s unique workflows and security requirements. With this in place, our network specialists and 24 / 7, UK-based CSOC and Service Desk function as extensions of internal IT teams, enabling a proactive approach to threat detection and management, ensuring network security policies remain fit for purpose and are consistently and robustly applied, wherever employees are connecting from.

When you have a strong tender, but no guarantee the team you're meeting is the team you'll be working with, there's always a concern whether things will work as planned on launch day. But this was never an issue with Exponential-e. All the way through, I had complete confidence in the team we'd be working with.
