What Is COSGrid SASE?

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

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

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

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

• DNS Security – DNS-layer threat prevention

• 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.
