Adopting a secure access service edge

What is SASE?

Secure Access Service Edge or “SASE” is a term that was coined by Gartner in 2019. Although it’s tempting to think of it as a product category, similar to SDP or VPN, it is more of a framework or philosophy. SASE encompasses a package of technologies, delivered as a service, that are designed to support the dynamic secure access needs of modern organizations.

Why has SASE come to be?

The traditional ‘hub and spoke’ network model has fallen into disarray, thanks to the rise of remote working. Not only are more workers tunneling into the network from outside the traditional perimeter, they’re using more SaaS apps than ever before (8 per day on average), on more devices, networks and traffic types.

Are you a network gymnast?

Funneling every connection through one centralized data center has created what Gartner calls “network gymnastics”. It simply no longer makes sense, given very little of what a user needs remains in the corporate data center. Not only that, but this model introduces latency and inhibits secure direct access.

The road to SASE

In order to abide by the SASE framework, every networking & security solution that once lived in a box in the data center, needs to instead to be delivered, as a service to the distributed workforce (at the edge). The traditional bottleneck of tunneling everything through one central on-premise ‘hub’ is therefore alleviated.

SASE in practice means delivering identity-centric network security, as a service, in the cloud. SASE solutions sit between agile users and corporate resources. They dynamically provide low-latency, secure direct access, based on identity.

NetMotion has SASE solutions

SASE encompasses a number of different technologies and solutions, ranging from SD-WAN to VPN. The NetMotion platform demonstrates leadership and capabilities in all solutions called out by Gartner as being ‘core components’ of SASE.

SASE is a new package of technologies including SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, ZTNA and FWaaS as core abilities, with the ability to identity sensitive data or malware… with continuous monitoring of sessions for risk and trust levels.
