Use Cases

The common outcomes admins configure first, each one end to end

  • Last validated: Oct 1, 2026

Overview

Each page in this section takes a single outcome and configures it from start to finish. They assume you have already activated SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge (CSE) and have a working org. If you have not, start with Get Started, which maps each use case to the license it requires and the quick start that proves it.

These are the outcomes most orgs set up first:

  • Replace Your Legacy VPN gives users working away from the office access to internal resources through a Service Tunnel, in place of a traditional virtual private network (VPN).
  • Block Malicious Internet Content filters the public internet on managed devices.
  • Protect SaaS Apps controls access to Software as a Service applications such as Salesforce or Microsoft 365.
  • Set Up ZTNA applies Zero Trust Network Access to a named internal resource rather than a whole network, and requires each device to meet a security standard before the policy admits it.

For guides covering a specific third-party product, a migration from another system, or a narrower goal, see Solution Guides.
