Secure access service edge (SASE) is a network architecture that rolls SD-WAN and security into a single, centrally managed cloud service that promises simplified WAN deployment, improved security, and better performance.
According to Gartner, SASE’s benefits are transformational because it can speed deployment time for new users, locations, applications and devices as well as reduce attack surfaces and shorten remediation times by as much as 95%.
With the pandemic, adoption of SASE has been on an upward swing. A June report from Sapio Research, commissioned by Versa Networks, finds 34% of companies are already using SASE, and another 30% plan to in the next six to 12 months.
