Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Integration Suites are designed to consolidate network and security components, simplify management and licensing, and improve usability. SASE is the union of a number of different networking and security technologies designed to improve security posture as well as connectivity for remote offices, cloud services, contractors, and remote employees, while driving down the cost of connectivity.
SASE is not a brand-new technology. It is an innovative packaging of security and networking solutions that can be better positioned to solve contemporary and evolving business requirements. The technologies involved encompass endpoints and both on-premises and cloud resident infrastructure and applications. SASE Integration Suites must be capable of supporting hybrid environments. Most operate in and are further pursuing multi-cloud architectures. On the other hand, many organizations accept that Work from Anywhere (WFA) will be the norm going forward. The need for Secure Access is greater than ever, with fraud, ransomware, and corporate espionage on the rise. Remote worker access, including employees and contractors, needs to be properly secured with strong authentication services and granular access controls. Moreover, assurances that end user devices are not compromised must be part of the Secure Access equation.
