What it is

SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge combines zero-trust access to private resources with internet security controls. Secure Private Access Basic provides VPN-style network access, while SPA Advanced applies zero-trust access to individually named resources. Secure Internet Access Basic offers compliance-focused filtering; SIA Advanced adds security-focused filtering, URL controls, and malware-download protection. Private resources can use SonicWall-hosted Global Edge or a self-hosted Private Edge, with a Gen 7 or later SonicWall firewall acting as a Connector. The product includes SSO, SCIM, device posture, audit logs, site-to-site networking, and advanced administrator control. Identity guides cover Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta, Google Workspace, Duo, OneLogin, JumpCloud, and SAML providers. Device-trust integrations include CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Capture Client. It supports macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS/iPadOS, Android, and Chromebook, with API automation. Pricing is on request; a 30-day trial supports 25 users.
