What is Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)?
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is an advanced architecture that integrates security directly into your communications. By leveraging SASE, which includes features like Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) services, your business locations and remote workers can safely access the full range of public internet connectivity.
About Secure Access Service Edge
How It Works ?
SASE operates by implementing risk-based access policies tailored to user identity, the sensitivity of the data or applications being accessed, and the location. These policies seamlessly follow the user, whether they are in the office, at home, or on the go, ensuring consistent security enforcement across all environments. SASE provides consistent security and network optimization across the entire enterprise, from on-premises and cloud data centers to branch offices, down to individual devices and users. Delivered as a global cloud service, SASE rapidly adapts to evolving business needs, making all network and security capabilities accessible from anywhere. Built on a scalable global cloud network, SASE delivers low-latency networking and security capabilities to all users and business locations, ensuring optimal performance and protection no matter where your business operates.
Key Components Of SASE
SASE leverages SD-WAN technology to optimize WAN management, providing a resilient and efficient on-ramp to the SASE cloud service. This ensures seamless connectivity and high performance across your network.
At the core of any network security strategy, FWaaS within SASE delivers comprehensive visibility and control over all traffic, enabling logical network segmentation and robust protection.
SASE integrates SWG to protect users from malware, phishing, and other cyber threats. It provides security for all users, in all locations, without adding the latency that comes with routing traffic to specific inspection points.
ZTNA within SASE secures application access for users by adhering to a zero-trust policy. Application access is dynamically adjusted based on user identity, device status, and other factors. SASE continuously monitors all ZTNA sessions for risks and extends protection to endpoints, including detection and response capabilities.
SASE simplifies the management of complex, disparate security and networking products by consolidating them into a single, unified platform, allowing for streamlined management from a single pane of glass.
