What SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge is
SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge combines zero-trust access to private resources with internet security controls. Secure Private Access Basic provides VPN-style network access, while SPA Advanced applies zero-trust access to individually named resources. Secure Internet Access Basic focuses on compliance-oriented web filtering; SIA Advanced adds security filtering, URL controls, and malware-download protection. Private resources can connect through SonicWall-hosted Global Edge, a self-hosted Private Edge, or a Gen 7-or-later SonicWall firewall acting as a Connector. The product supports SSO, SCIM, device posture, site-to-site networking, audit logs, and advanced administrator control. Identity integrations include Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta, Google Workspace, Duo, OneLogin, JumpCloud, and SAML providers. Device-trust integrations include CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Capture Client. A REST API, Terraform provider, and Python library and CLI support automation. Pricing is on request; the standard trial covers 25 users for 30 days.
