Stay in control with Managed Global Secure Access.
Secure every connection and keep sensitive data protected with Managed Global Secure Access. Put Zero Trust to work across AI, internet and private access, with 24×7 Australian support from Macquarie Cloud Services.
Overview
More access. More exposure.
Your people no longer access everything from inside the corporate network. They’re connecting to SaaS applications, using AI tools and accessing private resources from wherever work takes them. The corporate network is no longer the neat boundary it once was, and there are far more connections to secure.
Traditional security approaches weren’t built for this. Sending traffic back through the corporate network can affect performance, and broad network access can expose resources unnecessarily. Shadow AI and compromised identities make it hard to know who is accessing what, and where your data is going.
Managed Global Secure Access brings access and security controls closer to the people and resources that need them. You can apply Zero Trust principles to each connection, protect sensitive data and reduce unnecessary exposure, while Macquarie Cloud Services takes care of the ongoing management.

Global Secure Access for AI
Put AI to work without losing control.
AI is moving quickly across every part of the business. Keeping up means understanding how it’s being used, protecting sensitive information and making sure the right controls are in place.
Managed Global Secure Access gives you visibility and control over AI use across your organisation, helping you manage Shadow AI and protect sensitive data as adoption grows.
Global Secure Access for hybrid work
Secure work, wherever work happens.
Work happens everywhere now. Your people are connecting from home, heading into the office and getting things done on the road. Wherever they are, they need fast, secure access to the internet and the cloud applications they rely on.
Managed Global Secure Access keeps that access protected without routing traffic back through the corporate network. You can apply consistent security controls wherever people work, while giving them a faster, easier way to connect.
Global Secure Access for Zero Trust
Open up access, not your attack surface.
Your people need quick, easy access to the applications and resources that keep work moving. Traditional VPNs can make that harder than it needs to be, while giving users access to more of your network than they actually need.
Managed Global Secure Access puts Zero Trust into practice, checking each connection and giving people access only to the resources they’re authorised to use. Everything else stays out of reach, reducing your attack surface and providing a more secure alternative to ageing VPN and VDI solutions.
