Secure access to a corporate application in an SSH session using a transparent SSH proxy

A computer-implemented method for secure access to a corporate application in an SSH session using a transparent SSH proxy, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computer system comprising one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a secure access cloud point of delivery (PoD), from a client application on a client device, a request to access a corporate application that is deployed in a corporate datacenter;
• forwarding, from the secure access cloud PoD, to a connector that is also deployed in the corporate datacenter, the request to access the corporate application;
• and
• brokering, between the connector and the secure access cloud PoD, authentication of a user using an identity provider (IdP), authorization of access by the user, and an SSH session between the client application and the corporate application using a transparent SSH proxy deployed at the secure access cloud PoD, with no corresponding agent being installed at the client device, and with the client application being unaware that the SSH session is brokered by the connector and the secure access cloud PoD.
