AT&T is launching a new service designed to simplify digital experiences for users.

It consolidates reliable security, better application function, and active network oversight in one place. It also features zero-trust security, intelligent path selection, and unified policy control, which are intended to lower IT issues and maintain efficient operations for staff.

According to Shawn Hakl, head of product at AT&T Business, companies today require solutions that enable not only smooth connectivity but also enhanced security to protect devices and data. The company's relationship with Cisco allows them to offer a unified, cloud-based service that simplifies network operations and improves security for businesses to adapt in a changing environment.

The new solution's design is shown in an image provided by AT&T.

Key features of AT&T SASE with Cisco:

* Service Edge (SSE) provides multilayer security.

* SD-WAN powers intelligent routing and optimization.

* Full visibility and reporting from edge to cloud.

* Automated security processes and threat detection in real-time.

* Cross-platform integration through multi-cloud connectivity.

* Simplified IT through one service instead of multiple platforms.

* Complete protection for users, devices, and data from any connection.

In simpler terms, it gives businesses a way to manage both network and security in one location.

Consider a team with members in the office, working remotely, or traveling. Rather than using different systems for security and connection, this service combines them into a single cloud-based solution.

For companies, this results in:

* Simpler operations: fewer platforms and one provider.

* Enhanced security: protection for employees everywhere.

* Improved function: consistent and reliable apps and services.

Earlier in 2025, AT&T partnered with Palo Alto Networks on a similar cloud security solution, showing that this is not the company's first move in this direction this year.

Additionally, AT&T announced that "Iconic Phones: Revolution at Your Fingertips," a coffee table book about the technological revolution of the 21st century, will be released this fall.
