Introduction to SASE
Getting started with SASE
SASE empowers enterprises with improved agility, consistent network performance, enhanced visibility, fine-grained control across diverse IT landscapes, and numerous other benefits.

SASE and Zero Trust: Exploring Enterprise Security Strategies
Historically, most organizations have used a hub-and-spoke network to connect users, sites, and apps, with firewalls and VPNs for security and access. But when embracing remote work and cloud apps, the need to secure an ever-expanding network leads to increased costs, heightened risk, greater complexity, and more. That's why organizations are increasingly turning to SASE and zero trust.
After years of struggling with traditional firewalls and VPNs, most organizations will prioritize ZTNA, with growing interest in SASE and identity-driven security.
Core Components of SASE
By converging wide area network capabilities and core security functions, all delivered from the cloud, SASE enables teams to centrally manage security and connectivity.

SASE Architecture and Deployment
Zero trust is part of the SASE framework, but not all SASE is zero trust. Traditional SD-WAN architecture, built on network technology that extends trust between locations, inherits the risk, complexity, and attack surface of that underlying network.

Why Zero Trust SASE is the Path to Secure Network Transformation
SD-WAN alone can't fix flat networks. True transformation needs SASE built on a zero trust architecture that extends across users, workloads, SD-WAN, and IoT/OT.
The Top 3 Benefits of SASE and How to Achieve Them
The most effective SASE solution reduces IT costs and complexity, delivers great users experiences, and helps organizations measurably reduce risk. Find out what to look for, and what to avoid, in a new architecture.
Use Cases
According to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), organizations’ top three SASE use cases are aligning network and security policies, reducing or eliminating the internet attack surface, and improving remote user security.
