Coming to me in the form of Sonicwall's Cloud Secure Edge (at a monthly, per-user cost), I understand the basics of what they say it's going to do, but I also have been doing this long enough to understand when someone's using a lot of buzzwords and scare tactics to hype a much simpler concept that I feel I am not as much up on. I would welcome any and all comments from those of you with any experience in implementing/utilizing/understanding SSE. Thanks in advance!

Hadn't heard of it, reading up on it I think my employer (a very large company) has already implemented a form of it effectively. For us it's taken the form of a trusted auth service for all of our internal websites/services with everything now being directly Internet facing. This means that you can access (almost) everything without a VPN from anywhere, and it removes the idea of "internal" traffic being trustworthy. It's mostly been pretty nice from a user perspective.

It also sounds like a buzzword that a lot of companies are trying to use to sell you bundles of saas products.

Thank you! The whole thing feels like another "the cloud", or "AI" push, and I instantly distrust anything that leverages fear as a sales tool. From what I'm seeing, it feels like there's potential for improving the user experience, so I'm glad to hear that aligns with your perspective!
