What is SECURE ACCESS SERVICE EDGE (SASE)

Businesses need scalable, flexible solutions that secure data for cloud-based applications and provide resilient connectivity across your enterprise. Employees require secure, reliable access to data from any location.
Secure Access Services Edge (also known as SASE and pronounced “sassy”) is a cloud-native framework that combines networking and security services into one integrated solution. SASE solutions provide a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity with key components that work together to secure and simplify access across your organization:

Security Service Edge (SSE) features:

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) – Enforces security policies for cloud applications

Secure Web Gateway (SWG) – Protects against web-based threats

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) – Verifies user identity and restricts access based on need-to-know principles

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) – Provides cloud-based firewall protection for your network

Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) – Enhances connectivity and enables efficient, reliable access from any device, anywhere.

Bridge the Gap Between Network & Cybersecurity

With the increasing need for secure access for remote users to corporate cloud infrastructure, legacy on-premises network and security policies struggle to offer the protection your business needs. To respond to these concerns, secure access service edge (SASE) provides the ideal framework modern enterprises can use to bolster their cybersecurity posture.

Secure Connect has several valid use cases. However, the most popular deployments of Secure Connect support hybrid and remote work models, branch transformation or expansion, cloud adoption, and data migration.

A traditional VPN encrypts data while providing a base level of secure access. However, zero-trust network access goes beyond conventional security features by verifying end-user identity and closing access to unverified endpoint devices or users through complex security layers.
