Edge Protection
The question is no longer how to protect your network perimeter.
It is how to enforce consistent security policies when there is no perimeter. Users are everywhere, while applications are in clouds your organization does not own. Traffic that needs inspecting rarely passes through a location where a physical appliance can inspect it.
Edge Security services enforce security at the point of access, not at the edge of a building. Traffic is inspected without being backhauled through a data center. We manage the entire function and are accountable for outcomes from architecture through to daily operations.
Security Service Edge (SSE), next-generation firewall (NGFW), and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) converge into a single managed architecture. Whether your business needs cloud-delivered security for a distributed workforce, deep inspection at the network edge, or both networking and security combined into a single architecture, Edge Security provides this foundation.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
How does global networking integrate with SD-WAN, SASE, and Cloud Connect?
Your internet and private circuits are the transport layer that SD-WAN runs across. Your SASE architecture enforces security policies at the network edge. Cloud Connect extends this connectivity privately and directly into your cloud provider environments, bypassing the public internet entirely. When all four are from Globalgig, they are designed, managed, and visible together in Orchestra Insight. When these services are from different providers, the integration between each layer becomes a coordination exercise your team ends up managing.
What does Globalgig offer for security solutions, and how does it differ from traditional network security services?
Traditional network security services were built around a perimeter, a defined boundary between the corporate network and outside world. Globalgig’s security solutions replace this model with cloud-delivered controls that follow users and data wherever they go.
Instead of backhauling traffic to a central security appliance, security policies are enforced at the point of access for remote workers, branch offices, cloud applications, and mobile devices, without degrading performance or adding operational complexity.
What is the difference between SSE and SASE?
Security Service Edge (SSE) is a security component of modern cloud-delivered security services, combining secure web gateway, CASB, ZTNA, and Firewall-as-a-Service into a single platform. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) adds SD-WAN networking to SSE, converging networking and security into a single architecture.
Organizations with an existing SD-WAN can adopt SSE as the security layer, while businesses evaluating networking and security together usually use SASE as a complete solution.
How does DDoS protection work within the Edge Security architecture?
DDoS protection operates at the network edge, identifying and filtering malicious traffic before it reaches customer infrastructure. It addresses volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attacks that attempt to overwhelm bandwidth, exploit network layer weaknesses, and target specific services. Your organization’s protection is always-on, instead of activated in response to an attack, so mitigation begins before an attack reaches critical thresholds.
Can Globalgig manage Edge Security alongside my existing security tools?
Yes, Globalgig can manage new platforms deployed as part of a security engagement, integrate with existing tools where appropriate, and operate within a co-managed model alongside your team. The starting point is an assessment of your current environment and requirements, not with an assumption that everything must be replaced.
Is Edge Security suitable for organizations with high compliance requirements, such as GDPR or HIPAA?
Yes, GDPR-compliant DLP and CASB controls are included as standard. The architecture supports data sovereignty requirements through policy controls that govern where data flows and how it is handled. For HIPAA and other sector-specific compliance requirements, Globalgig’s Professional Services team can design architecture to meet the specific controls of your compliance program.
What is Managed SSE, and how does it differ from buying SSE directly from a platform vendor?
Managed SSE means Globalgig operates the platform on your behalf, and is accountable for configuration, monitoring, policy management, and ongoing optimization. Buying SSE directly from a platform vendor gives you the technology, but your team is responsible for operating it. Globalgig’s managed SSE services combine the platform capability with the operational expertise to run it, within a co-management structure that matches your internal capability.
What is Managed SASE, and when should we consider it over Managed SSE?
Managed SASE combines SD-WAN networking with SSE security services in a single managed architecture. Your company should consider Managed SASE if you are evaluating your networking and security stack simultaneously, or if your current SD-WAN is approaching contract renewal, and you want to consolidate into a single platform.
Managed SSE should be considered if your SD-WAN is performing well, and you want to add or improve the security layer, without changing your networking architecture. Globalgig offers both models and can advise on the right approach for your situation.
How does Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access handle identity-based access control?
Prisma Access enforces identity-first security by verifying users and devices before granting access to the internet, SaaS, and private applications. Instead of granting network-level access that a user can then move laterally within, it applies Zero Trust Network Access principles, so every session is verified, based on identity, device posture, location, and risk signals, and access is granted only to the specific application requested. AI Access Security, a feature of Prisma Access, extends this control to users’ interactions with generative AI applications, governing in real time what data can be shared with which tools.
Do I need to replace my existing network infrastructure to adopt SSE or SASE?
It may not be necessary. SSE can be deployed alongside existing networking infrastructure, including MPLS and SD-WAN from other providers. SASE usually involves transitioning from legacy network infrastructure, although Globalgig designs phased migrations that avoid disruption to live environments. Our Professional Services team assesses your existing estate before recommending an approach.
Sense-Check Where Security Enforcement Should Happen
AI can explain edge security. A good specialist can help you work out where enforcement should actually happen across your users, cloud access, inspection points, traffic flows, and routing paths, then challenge the assumptions that could create gaps, latency, or operational complexity.
