As hybrid work becomes the norm, organizations are rethinking how they protect their networks. A recent Gallup survey shows that 50% of U.S. employees now work in a hybrid model, with only 20% fully on-site. Gartner’s 2023 analysis projected that nearly 40% of the global workforce would follow this trend. In this evolving landscape, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is emerging as a modern approach to network security—merging connectivity and access protection into a single, cloud-native framework.
SASE unifies key technologies to provide centralized access protection and management. It includes:
This convergence enables organizations to adopt a more agile and secure model, ensuring reliable access to resources regardless of where users or applications are located.
Unlike traditional models that rely on multiple standalone solutions, SASE brings several security services together under a single platform. It delivers comprehensive threat prevention and applies next-generation firewall (NGFW) policies across the entire network edge. With built-in Zero Trust principles, it strengthens access control by continuously verifying users and devices—whether on-site or remote.
One of SASE’s key benefits lies in tool consolidation. By replacing a variety of point solutions with a unified platform, organizations can streamline their security stack, reduce operational complexity, and lower both infrastructure and maintenance costs.
SASE simplifies network and security management, helping businesses reduce cybersecurity expenses while improving overall efficiency.
SASE centralizes access and security policy management through a unified interface. This significantly reduces operational complexity by eliminating the need to manage fragmented network and cybersecurity tools.
Thanks to its cloud-native infrastructure, SASE delivers fast and secure connectivity to enterprise applications and online resources. Users benefit from improved availability and lower latency—whether working in the office or remotely.
Traditionally, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been used to secure remote employee access to corporate networks. However, VPNs come with several limitations:
SASE, on the other hand, adapts dynamically to network demands and applies security controls based on user identity and context. It intelligently routes traffic and enforces granular policies, offering a higher level of security and a better user experience than traditional VPNs.
With its Zero Trust framework, SASE continuously verifies identities and devices—minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.
Its distributed architecture ensures seamless and reliable access to critical resources, no matter where users are located.
By integrating SD-WAN, SASE optimizes network traffic to deliver a smooth user experience—even for bandwidth-intensive applications.
Centralized security policy management makes it easier to meet regulatory requirements and reduces the risk of human error.
SASE represents a major shift in how organizations manage security and connectivity. By consolidating network and cybersecurity tools into a unified model, it helps businesses strengthen their cyber-resilience while optimizing costs and performance. With its integrated approach, SASE stands out as a key solution for organizations looking to modernize their infrastructure and ensure secure, high-performance access to their resources.
