What is SASE?

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) brings together networking and security elements to provide effortless and protected connectivity for individuals working from any location.

Why SASE?

The presence of hybrid workforces and multi-cloud environments introduces operational intricacies and potential vulnerabilities to security resilience.

• Network complexity is at odds with business agility and IT teams need more dynamic solutions to get fast, flexible connectivity
• Without centralized control over policy, access, and identity, security teams can’t deliver trusted, secure experiences at scale
• Unified SASE solutions provide rich visibility, proactive insight, and comprehensive control for seamless IT management

Network Transformation is hard.

53% of senior IT decision makers believe their organization’s IT environment is more complex than it was two years ago.1

Connecting a distributed workforce is even harder.

51% of organizations struggle to connect users to corporate resources.2

Resource issues continue to mount.

50% of organizations are lacking sufficient resources to detect and remediate application vulnerabilities quickly.2
