Red Access Adds SSE Layer to Existing Firewalls

Organizations are deploying more SaaS applications, AI tools, and browser-based workflows than ever before. That shift is forcing security teams to rethink how they protect user activity, especially as browsers increasingly become the gateway to corporate data and applications. Many companies have adopted Security Service Edge (SSE) to address these risks, but the transition can be slow when it requires new infrastructure, agents, or major architecture changes.

Red Access is introducing what it calls Firewall-Native SSE, a cloud layer designed to sit on top of existing firewall environments. The approach allows organizations to extend their current firewall deployments with capabilities typically associated with SSE platforms, including data loss prevention, cloud access security broker controls, secure web gateway protection, phishing detection, and browser security controls.

The platform is designed to operate without endpoint agents or browser modifications. Instead, it applies session-level monitoring and policy enforcement across web activity, SaaS applications, AI tools, messaging platforms, and browser extensions. Because the technology runs alongside existing infrastructure, organizations can activate the additional security layer without replacing their current firewall architecture.

Red Access says the platform integrates with common enterprise firewall environments from vendors such as Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Cisco, and Check Point. By extending those deployments with cloud-delivered controls, the company is positioning the platform as a way for organizations to expand security visibility across browsers, SaaS environments, and AI-driven applications without adding another major infrastructure rollout.
