Secure Access Connect overview

This document provides an overview of Secure Access Connect. Secure Access Connect lets you attach security service edge (SSE) services to NCC Gateway for security processing and secure access to the internet or your applications. For more information about NCC Gateway, see the NCC Gateway overview.

Secure Access Connect is made up of realms and attachments. A Secure Access Connect realm is a global resource that links your Google Cloud project and an Secure Access Connect attachment is a regional resource that enables NCC Gateway to process traffic with an SSE service.
