Why the Need for SASE?
Digital innovation, cloud adoption, and the shift to a hybrid workforce have fundamentally transformed the network. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based resources, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, the need for a new approach to secure network access — especially the challenges of implicit trust inherent in legacy network architectures — has become clear
Modern enterprise users require immediate, uninterrupted access to network- and cloud-based resources and data, including business-critical applications, from any location, on any device, at any time. The challenge is that many of the issues resulting from digital innovation efforts, such as dynamically changing network configurations and the rapid expansion of the attack surface, mean that many traditional security solutions no longer provide the level of security and access control that organizations and users require.
