Overview
Axis deserves consideration because of the breadth of their SSE platform and the relentless pace of innovation delivered for their customers.
Launched in March 2020, Axis was a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution for private applications. In 2022, Atmos became the first SSE platform to integrate ZTNA, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, and Digital Experiencing Monitoring within a unified platform. These integrated, cloud-delivered, security services broker secure connections between authorized users and applications using identity and policy – improving visibility into what users access.
Atmos sits inline inspecting all traffic, brokering one-to-one connections based on identity and policy, and performing end-user experience monitoring. Customers can enable secure access to business applications from anywhere, provide safe access to the internet and SaaS apps, and boost user productivity. Atmos extends secure connectivity out to the user’s location through 350 Atmos edge locations running on the global backbone of AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle. This is twice as many edge locations as the nearest competitors.
Areas of differentiation:
1. Adaptive Trust – A zero-trust architecture combines identity, policy, and context to securely connect business users to key business apps.
2. Simplified orchestration – A single interface to manage access to all your apps, view activity, set up agent or agentless policies and much more.
3. Clarity like never before – Traffic inspection provides unprecedented visibility into per user access across internal and external apps so IT can prevent data leakage.
4. Unified access to all – The only zero trust service that can support all ports and protocols, even legacy VOIP (Peer-to-peer protocol), ICMP, AS400 apps, and RDP, SSH, Git, and DB via agentless web browsing.
5. Elevated scale – 100% cloud-delivered and has over 350 points of presence across the globe. More than double the industry leader.
How we are different
Product & Industry-wide Leadership
Operational Simplicity at Scale: Atmos provides a single interface to manage access to all your apps, view activity, set up agent or agentless policies, and much more. The workplace is an orchestra composed of users, devices, applications, and clouds – each playing its own tune, syncing, and changing. This orchestra is difficult to secure, complex often lacks visibility, and extends far beyond the corporate network. It requires a solution designed to harmonize access. Atmos is 100% cloud-delivered and has soared to over 350 points of presence across the globe. More than double the industry leader. This increases the presence of our secure access services by extending security services to the edge (the user location and their device) via a cloud architecture. This minimizes latency (no backhauls to the datacenter or site-to-site VPNs), and ensures reliability, availability, and scale of all services.
Adaptive Trust: A zero-trust architecture combines identity, policy, and context to securely connect business users to key business apps. Atmos reduces the overall attack surface, minimizes the change of over-privileged access, and helps security prevent threats like ransomware, insider threats, acquiring a breach through M&A, and third-party users. Customers provide end users with secure access to business applications from anywhere, providing safe access with a productivity boost.
Industry leadership: In 2022, Axis launched one of a kind industry initiative, different from traditional vendor partnerships that are exclusively commercially focused. The SSE Forum is open to any enterprise that is interested in the future development of security services at the edge. Founding members include the BBC, Brinks, Coca-Cola, Cummins, GSK, Kayak, Paychex, Procter & Gamble, SailPoint, and others. The SSE Forum is a non-commercial entity, a think-tank, dedicated to sharing lessons, best practices, use cases, challenges and solutions.
