SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a cloud-based networking and security model that integrates connectivity functions (such as SD-WAN) with security capabilities (Zero Trust, cloud firewall, access control) into a single managed service.
It simplifies infrastructure, enhances security in hybrid work environments, and reduces the complexity of managing multiple solutions. It enables organisations to protect users and devices regardless of where they connect from.
Organisations adopt SASE to unify security and networking across multicloud environments, protect remote access, and secure connectivity for geographically distributed branches or subsidiaries.
