Versa SSE converges ZTNA, SWG, CASB, DLP, RBI, and advanced threat protection into a single cloud-native SASE platform — so you can enforce Zero Trust for every user, device, and application without managing a stack of separate tools.
Most SSE vendors started as a proxy, a CASB, or a VPN replacement — then added the rest through acquisitions. Versa built SSE fas a single platform in Unified SASE, with a single policy engine and a single data lake shared across every security function.
01 — Converged Security
Every SSE capability shares the same policy engine and data lake. Consistent policy enforcement for every user, whether remote, in-branch, or on-premises — without routing traffic through multiple inspection points.
02 — AI-Powered Threat Protection
Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), UEBA, IPS, and GenAI Firewall work together to detect, analyze, and block sophisticated attacks — including data exfiltration through AI tools like ChatGPT — in real time.
03 — Zero Trust Everywhere
Versa extends Zero Trust from remote workers to users in any location — on-premises, branch, or cloud — with adaptive micro-segmentation, continuous posture assessment, and least-privilege access that follows the user.
Versa SSE covers the full spectrum of security service edge capabilities — natively integrated, not stitched together.
ZTNA
Secure access to private apps with adaptive least-privilege policies. Replaces VPN for remote and on-premises users.
GenAI Firewall
Monitor and enforce policy on AI tool usage, prevent sensitive data from being uploaded to GenAI platforms.
DEM
End-to-end visibility across devices, networks, and apps — pinpoint issues before users complain
SWG
URL filtering, malware protection, DNS security, and HTTPS inspection — keeping users safe on the web from any device.
CASB
Visibility and control over SaaS apps, Shadow IT discovery, and risk-based policy enforcement for cloud data.
DLP
AI-powered data discovery, classification, and real-time enforcement across web, cloud, network, and endpoints.
RBI
Web content executes in a remote containerized environment — malicious content never reaches user endpoints
NGFW
Advanced threat protection, deep application visibility, and carrier-grade performance — cloud, virtual, or on-premises
How Versa SSE Compares
The difference is whether the capabilities are architecturally integrated —
or assembled from separate products that happen to share a dashboard.
| Capability | Point Product Stacks | |
|---|---|---|
| Single policy engine across all security functions One place to write and enforce policy for ZTNA, SWG, CASB, DLP, and NGFW |
|
|
| GenAI usage monitoring and data control Prevent sensitive data from reaching ChatGPT and other AI tools |
|
|
| Zero Trust for on-premises users, not just remote Least-privilege access enforced at every location — branch, campus, cloud |
|
|
| Native NGFW and IPS — no separate appliance Firewall and intrusion prevention natively in the SSE stack |
|
|
| Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) built in End-to-end visibility from user device to application — no separate tool |
|
|
| Native path to full SASE — no platform migration SSE is part of the same VersaONE platform as SD-WAN — no rearchitecting required |
