Secure Access Service Edge

What is Secure Access Service Edge Providers?

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), pronounced "sassy" combines WAN capabilities with network security functions such as secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), firewall as a service (FWaaS) and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to support secure access no matter where users, applications or devices are located. This single cloud-delivered service model helps with flexibility, cost savings, reducing complexity and increasing threat and data protection. An increase in remote users and software has increased the need for a scalable and agile solution that replaces the physical and virtual point solution.
