I use Cisco Secure Access for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), which provides me with secure identity-based access to applications and the internet from anywhere. I don't have to rely on traditional VPN architectures. Cisco Secure Access provides Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Security Broker, and Firewall as a Service all into one platform, which is beneficial. I use it for firewalling, security, and Zero Trust Network Access.
Cisco Secure Access is used as a security tool within the tenant as a firewall and serves as a cloud-delivered Zero Trust access platform. It is used for Microsoft Intune as conditional access, Global Secure Access, and from Defender for Cloud Apps, working behind before it.Cisco Secure Access provides application-level access. Usually, it's full network access, but with this tool, application-level access can be given. It removes the dependency of VPN, and then user authentications are continuously based on identity, device, and risk, which is an add-on there. The Zero Trust Network Access feature is being used.

I support the US government. From a customer perspective, the use cases tend to be where we are guarding edge devices that we don't have necessarily 100% positive command and control. The devices have data transport that traverses in some cases ISPs, so we can't really control who's adjacent to those networks. We often deploy in those types of environments. Where we can use dark fiber, we prefer to, but that's not always an option.
Our main use cases for Cisco Secure Access include everything, such as all of our switching and wireless. I mostly work on the level one switching side. I deal with all the Catalyst 9300 switches and 9280 wireless routers.

The main use cases for Cisco Secure Access involve secure access to the network, as they've had some history with malware, ransomware, and things like that. They are focused on better control for remote users and access to the network.
Our business is in energy. We are using it to provide protection for different remote energy sites and for all the data that we transfer from the solar, wind, and hydrocarbon sites.
Our primary use case for Cisco Secure Access ( /products/cisco-secure-access-reviews ) is seamless connectivity for users, whether they are inside our corporate network or accessing it externally over the internet. The users do not have to switch on VPNs and reconnect. They can directly connect to Cisco Secure Access ( /products/cisco-secure-access-reviews ) using Zero Trust Network Access ( /categories/ztna ) (ZTNA ( /categories/ztna )) and access all resources as if they are inside the corporate network.

I use this solution for securing security controls like Secure Security Control (SSC) for local Internet breakouts. It offers a unified security policy across Google sites, providing secure web gateways, DNS and web security filtering, and multi-malware protection. These features are essential for comprehensive security.
