Skyhigh Security · Hybrid SSE Solution
Best Hybrid Cloud Security Platform
Overview
Skyhigh Security is dedicated to securing the world's data with cloud-native, data-aware security solutions that empower organizations to collaborate freely without compromising on security. Its market-leading Security Service Edge (SSE) portfolio focuses on protecting data use, enabling innovation and compliance across hybrid environments.
Key Capabilities
Skyhigh Security's Hybrid SSE solution provides customers with a unified, data-first security architecture that seamlessly spans both on-premises and cloud environments. It enables organizations to enforce consistent data protection without inhibiting their expansion and innovation in the cloud.
Key capabilities of the Hybrid SSE solution include:
- A true hybrid deployment model that seamlessly integrates on-prem Secure Web Gateways (SWG) with cloud SSE to deliver consistent protection across networks, users, and workloads.
- A converged SSE platform that unifies SWG, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) into a single, unified service.
- Data-first protection across web, cloud, SaaS, private apps, endpoints and AI solutions.
- Full visibility and control with centralized monitoring, logging, and risk assessment across all traffic, users, and applications.
- Unified policy management, allowing teams to create, manage, maintain, and seamlessly replicate granular policies in a centralized console.
- Zero Trust access controls that enforce context-aware access based on user, device, application, and data sensitivity.
How we are different
A few key differentiators make Skyhigh Security unique in the broader hybrid cloud security market. For one, the company's focus on securing hybrid environments extends back to the earliest days of this type of infrastructure. The team recognized that work would no longer be confined to just on-prem or cloud environments, and created solutions that would span these increasingly distributed ecosystems while still providing granular, consistent, data-first security. This early start has allowed the Skyhigh Security team to benefit from years of experience, refinement, and customer success.
Secondly, its model is truly hybrid in nature, not cloud-first with exceptions. Skyhigh Security delivers a deep, bi-directional integration between on-prem and cloud security efforts, ensuring that on-prem remains a viable option rather than a legacy or transitional model. Policies and controls operate as a single system across both environments, not separate stacks that must be aligned and maintained individually. Full cloud migration is an option for users, but never a necessity.
Lastly, Skyhigh Security is not content with its hybrid security being simply "good enough." The team continues to innovate upon and further develop its hybrid SSE offerings, introducing new capabilities that help customers meet the evolving hybrid risk landscape head-on. Its latest enhancement introduces universal Zero Trust security across the platform and a new containerized appliance architecture. This allows organizations to maintain a unified, fully controlled security posture across hybrid environments while gaining scalability, agility, and dynamic traffic routing capabilities.
Individually, each of these characteristics demonstrates a hybrid security offering that's more than capable of meeting the needs of today's increasingly distributed enterprises. Combined, they highlight why Skyhigh Security's Hybrid SSE solution is both an innovator and proven leader in the hybrid market.
