Symantec SSE is a cloud-based security solution designed to protect organizations, especially those with distributed workforces. It integrates essential security services such as Cloud Secure Web Gateway, Data Loss Prevention, Cloud Access Security Broker, Zero Trust Network Access, and Remote Browser Isolation into a unified platform. This integration helps enforce consistent security policies across all users, devices, and locations, ensuring secure access to web, cloud, and private applications while preventing data loss and protecting against advanced threats.

According to the Total Economic Impact study, organizations can expect significant financial benefits from deploying Symantec SSE. Over three years, a composite organization could see benefits totaling approximately $28.7 million, including $12.7 million from improved reliability, $1.7 million from avoided breach costs, and $8.4 million from legacy infrastructure cost avoidance. The overall return on investment (ROI) is estimated at 125%, with a net present value of $15.9 million.

Symantec SSE enhances operational efficiency by centralizing security policy enforcement, which reduces the administrative overhead associated with managing complex, on-premises security setups. Organizations reported up to a 15% productivity lift for their security operations teams, as the solution minimizes the volume of security alerts requiring manual intervention. Additionally, the cloud-based infrastructure reduces latency, allowing users to access applications and websites more quickly, which further boosts overall productivity.
