Adding complexity through simplification: Breaking down SASE

2021-05-27 05:00

Because SASE really is a significant step forward, especially for today's dispersed, fragmented and highly complex networks.

Because SASE allows key security functions to be moved from the network edge to the cloud, organisations can build a flexible cybersecurity operation that is inherently flexible.

Crucially SASE solutions can be designed and delivered as a managed service to avoid both spiralling costs and the need to add extra capacity and competence to existing in-house teams.

What puts momentum behind SASE is that it enables cloud security systems that can be scaled, added to or reduced to core components as needed.

One of the more notable features of SASE is that it is rejuvenating conversations around zero-trust access models - a highly desirable but so far elusive goal for many security managers.

Because SASE is all about contextualising user- and device-identity while setting individual rules for access it fulfils the ZTNA need to give access to users, devices, or applications only to traffic coming from other users, devices, or applications that have been authenticated.
