SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a cloud-native security framework that combines networking and security into a single service model, offering businesses secure, flexible, and scalable network access for remote users, branch offices, and cloud applications. By integrating SD-WAN with Zero Trust security, cloud firewalls, and secure web gateways, SASE ensures that users can securely access enterprise resources from anywhere.

A major benefit of SASE is its ability to replace traditional VPNs and fragmented security solutions with a unified, identity-driven access model. Businesses transitioning to remote and hybrid workforces use SASE to enforce Zero Trust principles, meaning every user and device is continuously verified before accessing sensitive data. It also optimizes cloud application performance by directing traffic efficiently across global points of presence (PoPs).

Use Cases:

• Remote workforce security – Ensures secure, identity-based access to corporate resources.
• Cloud-first enterprises – Protects and optimizes SaaS applications and hybrid cloud environments.
• Compliance and data protection – Enforces regulatory security policies across all network traffic.
