SSE has become the coveted standard for modern enterprise security. Yet the vast majority of organizations are still nowhere near fully embracing it – not because they don’t want to, but because getting there has required rebuilding their entire security stack from scratch.
Today Red Access announces a huge step forward in fixing that: the ability to turn your existing firewall into a fully capable AI-ready SSE platform, instantly and without the painful deployments that have slowed SSE adoption across the industry.
This is a new way for organizations to activate the solution everyone wants – modern SSE and GenAI security – simply on top of the infrastructure everyone already trusts (their firewall). No rip-and-replace, no agents, no browser changes, and activation in hours instead of months.
Why We Built Firewall-Native SSE
Over the past few years, we’ve seen the enterprise security landscape shift dramatically. The browser has quietly become the primary gateway to the enterprise. Employees access SaaS platforms, GenAI tools, messaging apps, and corporate applications directly from the browser or embedded web environments. At the same time, organizations are adopting AI tools at an unprecedented pace.
This creates a new security challenge. SSE was supposed to solve this. But in practice, many SSE deployments require:
- Major architecture changes
- Long deployment cycles
- Endpoint agents or browser modifications
- Complex network re-routing
In other words, adopting SSE often requires organizations to rebuild their security stack from scratch. And that’s exactly the problem we set out to solve.
Our Approach: SSE Without the Disruption
Instead of forcing companies to replace their existing infrastructure, we asked a different question: What if SSE could simply run on top of the firewall they already have? That idea became firewall-native SSE.
With Red Access, organizations can deploy an agentless cloud layer that integrates directly with their existing firewall environment and instantly activates modern SSE capabilities. This works across leading firewalls including Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Cisco and Check Point. The result is deployment that is up to 80% faster than traditional SSE projects.
Security Built for the Modern Workspace
Firewall-native SSE delivers the full capabilities organizations expect from a modern security platform, including:
- DLP
- SWG
- CASB
- Advanced phishing protection
- Enterprise browser controls
- Local browser isolation
- Dedicated GenAI security controls
While also adding dedicated security and protection across:
- Browsers
- SaaS platforms
- GenAI tools
- Web applications
- Browser extensions
- Messaging platforms
- Desktop applications
- WebSocket traffic
This session-level visibility allows organizations to secure the real interactions happening between users and applications.
What Our Customers are Saying
We’re already seeing organizations benefit from this approach. One of our customers, RIMEX Group, has been using Red Access to strengthen their security posture while keeping operations simple for their teams.
Their Director of IT, Security & TyreSense Technology, Eitan Israelov, put it well: “As we continue to expand our use of SaaS and AI tools, having the right security controls in place is critical. Red Access has helped us strengthen our approach while keeping deployment and operations straightforward for our teams.”Partners are seeing the impact as well. Dror Hacohen, Partner at FullStock, described the technology as solving a longstanding gap in enterprise security: “Red Access solves the blind spot in enterprise security — the session — without the friction of traditional agents. By integrating directly with existing firewall architectures, organizations can accelerate SSE adoption and unlock next-generation security capabilities.”
