If we’ve learned anything during the past year or so, it’s that remote and hybrid work environments are here to stay. To address security within the hybrid workplace, we have SASE.
Secure Access Service Edge (or SASE) combines networking and security functions in the cloud to deliver seamless, secure access to applications, wherever work is being done.
What does that mean? Core functions include Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), firewall as a service (FWaaS), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and zero-trust network access. (Recognize any of those acronyms from earlier?) The SASE model aims to consolidate these functions in a single, integrated cloud service.
The benefits of a SASE model are unlocked when you work with a single vendor that can bring together best-in-class networking, security, and observability—while offering the flexibility and investment protection to transition to the cloud at your pace.
