Cisco Secure Connect

I use Cisco Secure Connect to ensure the workers can access Internet-based resources and internal apps through a secure. Cloud-based platform. When on a traditional VPN, the problem of Lateral Movement and over-priviliged access is addressed, where, the access to the entire network is broad, which raises the risk of malware and unauthorised data access. By implementing Zero Trust Network Access, workers are allowed access only to specific applications they need based on identity. The scope of my use is secure access to internal apps. The scope moves toward a Zero Trust for private applications hosted in data centers.

On a scenario where we need to quickly onboard a large group of contractors who require access to specific internal applications but not the whole network it is well suited.
However, it is less appropriate in small businesses with simple needs, like on a scenario where a small canteen with 8 employees who only ise basic internet and have internal applications or a remote workforce.

I use it for my own lab testing. Along with that, I use it for the demonstration capabilities. Basically, I try to talk with the partners on a daily basis, where they want to understand the product. I leverage this platform in order to help them understand what this product is about, how they can leverage the features, and the benefits of this product.

I think this product is really, really good, especially for the customer who is really trying to have the transition to the SE journey. They want to provide the hybrid experience for the users regardless of the application, regardless of the location, or regardless of the device they're working from. So the matter is, they want to provide security for everyone. That's predominantly the use case.

I am Cisco Secure Connect cloud service for distributed teams, taking secure solutions to protect the organization for remote users.
Majorly it is providing secure internet access and strong VPN connectivity without depending on very high hardware.
From business purpose it addressing the biggest issue for the employees who are working remotely from different locations, it provide a encrypted access to the resource from which it protects the business from cyber threat

Where Cisco Secure Connect is well suited:
1. I am using its VPN and it is very easy to work from different location.
2. Organization is taking a great benefit with its centralized management system.
Where it is less appropriate :
1. If the business is small and it has the limited budget.
2. the business who uses the complex security and large data sets, they might face some limitations.

In my organization, we use this Cisco Secure Connect for secure remote access and connectivity for employees. From my perspective it has been become a key tool that allows me to work from anywhere without comprising security. The big issue it helps with the visibility and control. From IT perspective, there is a clear view of who is connecting from where and to what resources.

It is well suited for mid to large organization with employees working from home, offices and while traveling as well. It is well suited where security matters most if organization is required standards like ISO, SOC 2.
