If you’ve ever dealt with slow VPNs, or clunky ZTNA agents that degrade app performance, you’re not alone. Many IT teams are stuck balancing security with usability—and often end up sacrificing both. Here is a different approach. The high-performance ZTNA service that is part of a personal SASE solution from Cloudbrink can upgrade or replace traditional VPNs while fixing the performance and complexity that come from other vendors in the ZTNA and SASE space. Built as a software-only service, Cloudbrink delivers sub-20ms latency and 1Gbps+ speeds per user using dynamically deployed FAST edges and a proprietary protocol that recovers packet loss before it impacts the app. Security isn’t bolted on—it’s built in. With mutual TLS 1.3, short-lived certs, and no exposed IPs, Cloudbrink provides real zero trust without making users suffer through poor connections or overloaded POPs. If you’ve been burned by “next-gen” solutions that still feel like 2008, it might be time for something new.

Cisco Umbrella's cloud-delivered security enables an immediate improvement in security and compliance posture. That's because DNS is at the heart of every internet connection request. Securing the DNS layer means blocking malicious domains, IP addresses, and cloud applications before a connection is ever established. More than 30,000 organizations depend upon Umbrella DNS to deliver a fast, safe, and reliable internet experience that is simple to deploy and easy to manage. A recent study by GigaOM ranked Cisco #1 in DNS-layer security, and our DNS security contributed to Miercom ranking Cisco #1 in the industry in its laboratory testing of SSE threat efficacy. When you are looking to build upon DNS-layer protection with additional user protection capabilities, including ZTNA, SWG, CASB, DLP, and more, see Cisco Secure Access. Cisco Secure Access features a single client, single manager, and single policy construct protection for multi-function internet access protection and integrated
