Quick answer

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) combines networking (such as SD-WAN) and security services (secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, zero-trust network access and firewall-as-a-service) into a cloud-delivered service. It suits organisations with remote workers and cloud applications, replacing the old model of routing all traffic through a central data centre.

What SASE Includes#

  • SD-WAN. Smart routing of traffic between offices, users and cloud.
  • Zero-trust network access (ZTNA). Access to apps based on identity and device, not network location.
  • Secure web gateway (SWG). Filtering and protection for web traffic.
  • Cloud access security broker (CASB). Visibility and control over SaaS usage.
  • Firewall-as-a-service. Cloud-delivered firewall policies.

Benefits#

  • Consistent security. The same policies apply wherever users work.
  • Better performance. Users connect to nearby cloud points instead of a distant data centre.
  • Simpler operations. Fewer separate appliances to manage.
  • Zero-trust foundation. Every access request is verified.

How to Adopt SASE#

Map users, sites and applications, start with zero-trust access for critical apps, consolidate tools gradually and monitor performance and policy coverage. For application-level security, pair SASE with secure development and testing. See our VAPT security testing and DevOps & cloud services.
