A SASE solution integrates networking and security into a single, cloud-delivered service, aiming to provide secure and efficient network connectivity and access control across an organization’s resources.
In cybersecurity, SASE refers to a framework that merges network security functions like firewalls, secure web gateways, and zero-trust access into a unified cloud-based service to enhance security and simplify management.
SASE in networking combines network infrastructure services like SD-WAN with security services (e.g., CASB, SWG) within a single cloud platform to improve network efficiency and security for geographically dispersed organizations.
SASE stands for Secure Access Service Edge, indicating a cloud architecture model that integrates network and security solutions to ensure secure and agile access to enterprise resources, regardless of location.
SASE technology encompasses the tools and platforms that merge wide area networking (WAN) and network security services into a single, cloud-native service, providing comprehensive security and performance.
The goal of SASE is to enhance the efficiency and security of network access in enterprises, facilitating scalable, flexible access to organizational resources for any user, anywhere.
SASE is used to streamline network and security operations into a cloud service, reducing complexity and improving security for enterprises with distributed networks and a mobile workforce.
