SASE Network Security that Enables Your Organization to Work from Anywhere
Purpose Built to Secure Any User to Any Application from Anywhere.
The iboss SASE Cloud Platform is a purpose built, patented, cloud delivered security gateway on a containerized architecture. This approach consolidates security technologies (SWG, CASB, DLP, IPS, Malware Defense, Firewall) into a single unified platform, eliminating appliances in the security stack, and reducing the need for VPN while securing any device, regardless of location.
The Challenge:
Your applications have moved to the cloud (Microsoft 365, CRM, HR, Marketing automation, corporate applications in public clouds like: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) but your security architecture still consists of an outdated, legacy “castle and moat” on-prem appliance architecture.
Rapid Shifts in Networking have Created New IT Challenges
IT Challenges
- Users Go Mobile - Desktops change to laptops and users are no longer in the network perimeter – broadens attack surface & security blind spots
- Applications Move to the Cloud - Apps move from on-prem servers to SaaS, plus data and files move to online storage & access – VPNs experience latency and slow connections
- Bandwidth Explosion - Increased usage of public cloud and surging demand creates latency and decreases user productivity/UX
- Encrypted Traffic Explodes - Mobility increases encrypted HTTPS traffic; legacy infrastructure requires upgrading and ongoing support costs
- Network Security Moves to Cloud - Data center network security moves to the cloud where the users, apps, and data live; current security model becomes ineffective and obsolete

An industry leader in almost every aspect of the energy and chemical manufacturing businesses, they operate facilities or market products in most of the world’s countries, explore for oil and natural gas on six continents, and research and develop next-generation technologies to help meet the dual challenge of fueling global economies while addressing the risks of climate change
Challenges
- Previously built around traditional firewall and web proxy appliances made securing across a globally distributed workforce very difficult
- Needed full-stream packet cap capabilities, SaaS delivered, capable of storing months of raw packet capture for review
- Implementation of a zero trust & SASE model was difficult with traditional appliance based security infrastructure.
Outcomes
- iboss chosen as the organization’s core cloudbased SaaS proxy and firewall solution globally after extensive capability & security efficacy testing against competitors
- All network security functions traditionally delivered via on-prem firewall and proxy appliances were ported over to iboss platform
- Packet capture was fully delivered and made possible via the containerized cloud architecture of the iboss platform
