SASE and hybrid work: security that follows the user

What SASE is

Secure Access Service Edge combines network connectivity (SD-WAN) with cloud-delivered security services: zero trust access to applications, web filtering, data protection and firewalling. Policies follow users wherever they are.

Benefits and caveats

Better user experience, consistent policies, less complexity at branch sites. In return, it requires careful network path design, integration with existing identities and event visibility in security monitoring.

A gradual adoption

1. Analysis of sites, users, applications and flows.
2. Pilot with a group of users and applications.
3. Progressive roll-out and decommissioning of traditional VPNs.
4. Event integration with the Cyber Defense Center.
