Cloud Secure Edge
Cloud-delivered Zero Trust access that replaces VPN for the hybrid workforce.
SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) is a cloud-delivered secure access platform that brings Zero Trust Network Access and SSE capabilities to the hybrid workforce — providing least-privilege access to private, SaaS, and internet resources without a traditional VPN. It integrates with SonicOS firewalls for a unified security architecture. Faltrox designs, deploys, and operates it as managed Zero Trust access.
Overview
What Cloud Secure Edge is
Traditional VPN grants broad network access and struggles with a distributed, cloud-first workforce. Cloud Secure Edge replaces that model with cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access: users and devices get least-privilege access to specific applications — private, SaaS, or internet — based on identity and posture, without exposing the whole network.
Built for the hybrid workforce, it provides ZTNA and security service edge capabilities from the cloud, close to the user, and integrates with SonicOS firewalls so an organisation already running SonicWall gets a unified security architecture spanning network and secure access. It covers managed and unmanaged devices and simplifies secure access at scale. Faltrox designs the Zero Trust policy, migrates users off legacy VPN, and operates CSE as a managed service.

Works with
Part of the platform
SonicWall products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery

Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01How is Cloud Secure Edge different from a VPN?
A VPN grants broad network-level access; Cloud Secure Edge grants least-privilege access to specific applications based on identity and device posture, without exposing the whole network. That Zero Trust model reduces the blast radius of a compromised account or device dramatically.
02Does it work with our existing SonicWall firewalls?
Yes — it integrates with SonicOS firewalls, so an organisation already running SonicWall gets a unified security architecture spanning network protection and cloud-delivered secure access, managed together. Faltrox designs that integration.
03Can it secure unmanaged and contractor devices?
Yes — it covers both managed corporate devices and unmanaged BYOD or contractor devices, applying Zero Trust access policy consistently regardless of who owns the device.
04How does it fit SMA?
SMA is the established secure-access-gateway line; Cloud Secure Edge is the cloud-delivered Zero Trust / SSE approach. Organisations may run either or both depending on their architecture, and Faltrox scopes the right fit for your access needs.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We design the Zero Trust access policy, integrate it with your identity providers and SonicWall firewalls, migrate users off legacy VPN, and monitor access — delivering cloud-delivered Zero Trust access as a managed service.
