What is SASE? Understanding Secure Access Service Edge

sd-wan

In today’s rapidly changing digital world, businesses face increasing challenges in securing their network whilst also ensuring seamless connection. Traditional network security approaches, often centred around on-premise solutions, struggle to meet the demands of a dispersed workforce and cloud-centric environments. That is where Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) comes in – a revolutionary approach to network security that combines Wide Area Networking (WAN) and Network security services into a single, cloud-delivered service model.

So what is SASE?

Secure Access Service Edge, commonly referred to as SASE (pronounced “sassy”), is a network architecture that converges networking and security functions into a unified, cloud-native service. SASE aims to provide secure and optimised access to applications and resources, regardless of their location. By integrating key networking and security capabilities, SASE ensures that organisations can maintain robust security postures while delivering high-performance access to users.

What are the key components of SASE?

  • Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN)
  • Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
  • Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
  • Firewall as a Service (FWaaS

What are the benefits of utilising SASE?

There are many benefits of implementing SASE into your business, SD-WAN alone boasts a plethora of advantages for businesses so when combined with the additional elements of SASE it is unstoppable.

Enhanced Security

SASE provides a holistic security approach, combining multiple security functions into a single solution. This ensures comprehensive protection against a wide range of threats, from malware and phishing to data breaches and insider threats.

Improved Performance

By leveraging SD-WAN and other optimisation technologies, SASE ensures that users experience fast and reliable access to applications and resources. This is particularly beneficial for remote workers and branch offices.

Scalability and Flexibility

By leveraging SD-WAN and other optimisation technologies, SASE ensures that users experience fast and reliable access to applications and resources. This is particularly beneficial for remote workers and branch offices.

Simplified Management

SASE consolidates networking and security functions into a single platform, simplifying the management and monitoring of these services. This reduces the complexity of maintaining separate solutions and improves operational efficiency.

Cost Savings

By integrating networking and security services, SASE can reduce the need for multiple point solutions, leading to cost savings. Additionally, its cloud-based delivery model can lower infrastructure and maintenance costs.

In conclusion, SASE represents a significant shift in how organisations approach network security and connectivity. By converging networking and security functions into a single, cloud-delivered service, SASE offers enhanced security, improved performance and greater flexibility.

SASE can empower businesses to stay ahead in the digital age, ensuring secure and efficient access to their critical applications.
