In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, traditional network and security architectures are struggling to keep up. With a global user base constantly accessing resources in the cloud, businesses need a modern, scalable solution. This is where Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) comes to play. Offering converged security as an integral service, SASE meets the evolving demands of the digital world.
The term "SASE" was first coined by Gartner in 2019, which predicted its emergence as the new standard for networking and security. But what is SASE? Secure Access Service Edge is a revolutionary approach to network architecture. It ingeniously combines WAN capabilities with security functions, such as secure web gateways, firewalls, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) — all delivered from the cloud by a SASE vendor. This union of network connectivity and security onto a single platform facilitates rapid cloud transformation.
Today's businesses are undergoing rapid digital transformation. The rise of cloud computing, edge computing, and workforce mobility means that data, applications, and services are utilized both inside and outside the traditional enterprise premises. As a result, architectures routing traffic through a centralized data center have become cost-inefficient, negatively impacting service availability, user performance, and productivity.
Moreover, these traditional network architectures can't meet today's security and risk management requirements. When users access data from various locations using multiple devices and platforms, visibility and control are easily compromised. Processing all the web traffic through a centralized data center consumes significant computing power, further hampering performance.
This is precisely why security and risk management leaders are choosing cloud-delivered SASE. It addresses these challenges by placing security (SSE) and networking services at the cloud edge. SASE enables organizations to increase cloud adoption, offload security tasks, and deliver a consistent user experience, regardless of user locations.
SASE: For Any Industry, Anywhere, Anytime
Whether it's finance, healthcare, manufacturing, or any other industry, SASE has transformative benefits. By connecting users, devices, applications, services, and platforms from anywhere and at any time, SASE ensures optimal data center performance. It offers a global fabric of network and security capabilities, marking a new era of efficient, secure, and high-performance networking.
