Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) provides secure, agile, integrated connectivity for users accessing their applications and data in the cloud.
What’s the difference between SD-WAN and SASE?
SASE brings together SD-WAN and security in the cloud to help you create a high-performing environment that’s protected at the network, application and device layers. You choose what features and services best suit your unique needs and we can design, build and manage everything for you.
A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a virtually configured service that connects data centres to branches and to the cloud. It’s an integral component of the SASE architecture.
SASE delivers converged network and security as service capabilities, including:
SD-WAN
Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
Zero trust network access (ZTNA)
SASE supports branch office, remote-working and on-premises secure access use cases.
It’s primarily delivered as a service, enabling zero trust access based on the device’s identity or entity, combined with real-time context plus security and compliance policies.
