What is SASE?

Combine multiple network and security technologies into a single solution

SASE (pronounced “sassy”) is a cybersecurity concept that enables companies to deliver standard protection to all company resources, regardless of where they are located. Using SASE as a single control point, security teams may create rules to protect SaaS programmes, govern access to online destinations, identify shadow IT, and defend on-premise systems. A company’s headquarters and branch offices, as well as home office and mobile users, are all covered by the SASE architecture.

Replace old and disconnected security point solutions with the SASE architecture

The surge in home users accessing corporate applications makes SASE even more essential today. Many businesses continue to utilise VPNs, however, because of the high latency of VPNs, consumers have complained about their performance, resulting in inefficiencies.

Security teams may create a substantially less complicated security environment by replacing old and disconnected security point solutions with the SASE architecture, which incorporates Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) features. SASE is a single solution that incorporates numerous network and security technologies. Its main purpose is to provide the same network and security services to all users, regardless of where they are located (ie. their house, on the road, or in the office).

The goals of SASE include

Authenticating the user no matter what device they are using or where they are (aka Zero Trust).
Users’ access is separated per application. Allowing users to obtain the data they require while stopping them from accessing information outside of their domain.
Without the delay and cost of a typical hub and spoke paradigm, distributed security is possible.
Management and policy execution by a single person.
Covers security flaws that may arise when combining different, disparate security solutions.

Eliminate latency and security inefficiency

By merging Software-Defined WAN, Secure Web Gateway, Firewall-as-a-Service, Cloud Access Security Broker, and Zero Trust Network Access into one architecture, SASE eliminates latency, management, scalability, and inefficiency. Because an employee’s data no longer has to transit via a central site to a secure organization’s security, SASE transfers security tasks to the local POP, resulting in decreased latency.
