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:

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.
