The digital transformation to cloud and mobile is inverting the legacy appliance-based security stack to the cloud to better protect an increasing base of remote workers. Legacy security appliances located in offices force traffic hair-pinning with VPNs to central data centers which is no longer sufficient and results in a poor user experience.
As companies embrace digital transformation, the old model of data center based perimeter security no longer works. More and more applications are in the cloud and users work from anywhere. Securing modern users and apps requires a modern cloud security solution.
Business units and users continue to freely adopt new apps and cloud services, where the average company with 500-2000 users accesses 805 distinct apps. Legacy security solutions are mostly blind to these growing shadow IT apps and cloud services and less than 3% are managed by IT. All stages of the cyber kill chain are now cloud-enabled, including reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, and call back communications.
¶ Secure Internet Access (SIA)
Securing today’s cloud- and mobile-first enterprise requires a fundamentally different approach built on zero trust. Exium Secure Internet Access (SIA) is a secure internet and web gateway delivered as a service from the cloud. Think of it as a secure internet onramp—all you do is make Exium your next hop to the internet. No matter where users connect—a coffee shop in London, a hotel in Tokyo, or the office—they get identical protection.
Exium SIA uses the latest networking and security technologies to deliver a malware-free internet experience for your users. Internet security is essential and when it is coupled with an outstanding user experience it makes things a lot easier for both users and the company.
The trend in work-from-anywhere and BYOD policies means the employees are connecting to trusted and untrusted websites and SaaS applications around the clock. Using personal devices to access these third-party web services puts the corporate data and organization at considerable risk.
With Exium Secure Internet Access, employees can safely connect to SaaS apps, click on web links, and open email attachments without the fear of infecting their devices. Our Intelligent Cybersecurity Mesh or CyberMesh lets you embrace the cloud with the confidence you need to keep the distributed workforce secure wherever they are.
More than half of web traffic today is related to apps and cloud services, and more than two-thirds of malware is delivered from cloud apps versus the web. Legacy web proxy gateways cannot decode apps and cloud services to detect these cloud delivered threats.
Unlike traditional solutions that require integrating separate point products, Exium SIA combines the best of secure web gateways, DNS security, intrusion detection and prevention services, and SaaS security offerings into a single, easy-to-use, and cost-effective cloud-based service.
¶ How SIA Works
Secure Internet Access sits between your users and the internet, inspecting every nibble (half-byte) of traffic inline across multiple security techniques. You get full protection from web and internet threats on a cloud platform that supports Zero-Trust network access, Next Gen Cloud Firewall, Content/ URL Filtering, DNS security, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation, Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks protection, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
Secure Internet Access utilizes a lightweight Exium Agent installed on a Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, iOS, Android, Chromebook or a Linux device. The Exium Agent steers application traffic to the Exium Intelligent Cybersecurity Mesh for full inspection and policy enforcement.
Exium provides a globally available, cloud-based security platform for securing remote workers’ access to websites and cloud applications. Exium has the unique ability to perform AI-powered deep inspection on SaaS/ cloud applications and website traffic to understand remote workers’ activities, inspect data movement, and detect and stop threats.
Secure Internet Access gives Workspace admins control over applications and the users authorized to access them. Workspace admins create and manage policies for users, user groups, applications, and application groups within Exium Admin Console.
With the use of CyberMesh, you can monitor behavior for web, apps and cloud services, set granular acceptable use policies, invoke adaptive policies based on app risk, user risk, activity, and data sensitivity, and provide real-time user coaching to safer alternatives and away from risky apps. Not only does this improve your security in the cloud, but it also improves user experiences by avoiding blanket bans on certain actions and devices. Granular controls and inline visibility delivered by CyberMesh helps contextualize user and data activity so adaptive policies can guide users while reducing risk and protecting data without interfering with legitimate work practices.
CyberMesh decodes thousands of apps and cloud services alongside web traffic to understand content and context for data and threat protection defenses. CyberMesh understands user, device, location, app, risk, instance, content, and activity for contextual policy controls, plus collecting rich metadata for analytics, investigations and machine learning.
