Introduction

Secure Connect offers a simple-to-manage alternative to complex VPN infrastructures for securely connecting IoT devices, sites, vehicles, and remote workers. As the foundation for all other NCX services, Secure Connect delivers a policy-governed, zero-trust network that can be easily orchestrated to enable highly secure communications from the WAN edge to the cloud.

Secure Connect benefits:
- Dynamic orchestration of zero-trust tunnels at scale.
- Simplified WAN deployments with support for overlapping IP addresses through name-based routing.
- Reduces the network attack surface by hiding network resources, encrypting traffic, and obscuring all public IP addresses.
- Delivers enhanced security by being deny-all by default, with access only enabled through policy.
- Provides containment of breaches and malware by restricting all east/west traffic by default.
