LTM has announced the launch of a new Cisco-powered managed Secure Service Edge (SSE) solution at Cisco Live 2026 in Las Vegas. LTM Positions the offering for enterprises looking for tighter security in cloud-first and hybrid work environments. The company says the service is built on Cisco Secure Access and is aimed at helping organizations deploy generative AI more safely, strengthen zero trust controls, and simplify access management across users, devices and locations.
“Modern enterprises need AI-powered security that adapts to how people work today, anywhere, on any device, at any time. LTM with Cisco delivers a unified, cloud-native SSE solution that simplifies protection, improves visibility, and empowers organizations to operate securely at scale,” said Chandan Pani, Chief Information Security Officer, LTM.
LTM’s new service combines Cisco’s cloud-native SSE stack with LTM’s managed services layer. According to LTM, the solution brings together Zero Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway and Cloud Access Security Broker capabilities under centralized policy control.

The service is backed by 4,000+ security professionals and nine Cyber Defense Resiliency Centers, with 24×7 AI-driven threat identification and optimization as part of the managed offering. That is critical because SSE is not simply a product category; for many buyers it has become an operating model.
Enterprises increasingly want a service that combines the security framework with ongoing management, rather than another standalone tool to administer.
LTM frames the new platform around cloud-first and hybrid work, where employees, contractors and partners access applications from many locations and device types. The company says the SSE model is meant to provide identity- and context-aware access with steady protection, which is the core promise of zero trust networking.
LTM says the service is intended to help enterprises safely deploy generative AI and AI models as they protecting access to applications. That shows a growing concern in enterprise IT: the more AI tools are added, the more pressure there is to control who can use them, from where, and under what policy.

What SSE means
Secure Service Edge is the convergence of security and networking in a cloud-delivered framework. Cisco Secure Access provides the technical base, while LTM delivers the managed layer around it. The practical appeal is: fewer disconnected security tools, simpler policy enforcement, and less friction for users trying to reach corporate applications securely.
Cisco says LTM had already deployed Cisco Secure Access for 87,000+ employees across 117 locations in under 90 days without disruption to business operations. The unified platform cut IT incidents by 25% and support tickets by 30%, while giving the company quicker visibility into service issues.
“By combining Cisco’s world-class innovation with LTM’s deep technical expertise, we are making enterprise-grade security more accessible for today’s organizations. LTM’s managed SSE solution balances business agility with a seamless user experience. Cisco’s security portfolio—including Secure Access—has been purpose-built to be consumed as a service, enabling organizations to adopt and scale modern security with greater simplicity and speed,” said Raj Chopra, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Cisco Security.
