What Is COSGrid SASE?

COSGrid SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a unified security platform that combines:

  1. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) – Secure application access without traditional VPN exposure

  2. Secure Web Access (SWA) – Web filtering and internet traffic control

  3. Zero Trust NAC (ZT-NAC) – Identity-based LAN access control

  4. DNS Security – DNS-layer threat prevention

  5. QShield (WAAP & API Security) – Web application firewall, API discovery, bot mitigation, and DDoS protection

The platform enforces identity-first, policy-driven security across:

  • Remote users

  • Branch offices

  • On-prem infrastructure

  • Cloud workloads

  • APIs and web applications

All services are managed from a centralized console.
