Security Service Edge Providers

Security Service Edge

What is Security 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.

Common Features

  • Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
  • Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
  • Zero Trust
  • Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)
  • Data Analytics / BI / AI

As cyberattacks become more sophisticated and users work from anywhere, the hub-and-spoke networks and perimeter security we once relied on—VPNs and firewalls—fail to provide strong cyber and data protection and deliver poor user experience. Stretching your network like this enables cybercriminals to attack and compromise sensitive data.
