Espria Security Service Edge (SSE) has been designed and developed for any organisation currently using legacy VPN solutions or Always On VPN. Based on zero trust principles, Espria SSE replaces traditional connections to applications, delivering enhanced network security and a seamless user experience that does not compromise on performance or security. Brian Sibley, Virtual CTO at Espria said: “Espria SSE replaces legacy VPNs with ZTNA to minimise the risk of implicit trust and lateral movement and has been designed to reduce the complexity of your existing security estate, as well as cost. With fewer security tools to manage it means organisations will experience increased efficiency and reduced OpEx. “Furthermore, by leveraging existing conditional access policies organisations will be able to maximise their existing investment in Microsoft tools, while enhancing their security position.” Espria SSE is offered in a number of packages dependent on the individual requirement of an organisation. www.espria.com CBS acquires Sastech Bradford-based Commerce Business Systems Ltd (CBS) has announced the acquisition of Sastech’s contracts and customer base, a move that expands its managed print and IT services scope in the northwest of England and north Wales.
