A New Era in Cybersecurity:
Secure Access Service Edge
Strong levels of security are beginning to be demanded by
organizations of all sizes following a growing number of
cybersecurity attacks. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) has
emerged as a concept to improve security both in the cloud and
on premise.
The network technologies that have existed prior to SASE do not
provide the level of security necessary to accommodate remote
users, cloud data, and increased traffic. By combining other key
cybersecurity solutions and frameworks, Secure Access Service
Edge will provide a more well-rounded, modern security
approach.
Secure Access Service Edge combines wide area network (WAN)
security and network security services such as CASB and Zero
Trust into one model. SASE will identify users, apply policies, and
deliver secure access to appropriate data. It’s a framework that
allows organizations to give their users secure access from
anywhere.
The Benefits of SASE
SASE enables your organization to flexibly implement and deliver
security services such as sandboxing, web filtering, threat
prevention, credential theft prevention, next-generation firewall
policies, and data loss prevention. Instead of managing multiple
solutions, it utilizes a single platform, minimizing resource costs.
Having multiple security solutions in one place also reduces the
number of solutions your team must manage, helping them to be
more efficient.
For users, SASE helps improve productivity as it allows them to
connect securely from wherever resources are located. It utilizes
Zero Trust, never assuming the identity of a user, and always
verifying before giving access to an application. Secure Access
Service Edge will give complete session protection while the user
is either on or off the network.
SASE also works to prevent data loss by implemented data
protection policies within its framework. It also inspects content
for threats, offering threat protection.
The combined benefits of Secure Access Service Edge both
modernize and streamline the security within an organization.
SASE is not just one solution but a combination of solutions. If
your organization already implements Cloud Access Security
Broker (CASB), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Solutions, Web
Gateways, Web Isolations, and other key solutions, you may
already be on your way to achieving a SASE framework. Learn
