The rise of remote work, SaaS and cloud computing has outpaced traditional network security solutions, making Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) essential. It merges network security and WAN into a cloud-native platform, offering secure, location-independent access to resources.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-native networking security framework that integrates a range of security services—such as Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) with advanced wide-area networking (WAN) technologies. SASE enables companies with direct and secure connectivity to applications and data, irrespective of their location or the user’s location.
In traditional network security setups, organizations typically deploy a range of separate, specialized hardware and software solutions to protect their network and data. Managing these disparate solutions can be complex, costly, and less effective against threats.
CASB solutions modernize the way organizations secure their cloud services and applications. Traditional network security often struggles to provide visibility and control over data across various cloud environments. CASB consolidates these functions, offering comprehensive cloud security by monitoring activity and enforcing security policies across all cloud services, effectively replacing the need for multiple, cloud-specific security tools.
ZTNA presents a modern alternative to traditional VPN solutions, which grant broad network access to users, potentially exposing sensitive resources to risks. In contrast, ZTNA adheres to the principle of “never trust, always verify,” granting users access only to specific applications they are authorized to use, without giving them visibility into or access to the entire network.
Traditional web security solutions, such as standalone URL filtering appliances and older SWGs, often lack the ability to fully inspect encrypted traffic or offer advanced threat protection. The Next-Gen SWG component of SASE provides a more comprehensive web security solution, integrating deep inspection of all web and cloud traffic, including encrypted content, with real-time threat prevention and data protection capabilities.
Companies with distributed workforces and multiple IT environments, requiring seamless, secure access to applications and data regardless of user location or device.
