Secure access service edge (SASE)
Simplicity, performance, and high security
Create a secure bridge between user access and the cloud
The challenge
As enterprises adopt new technologies—such as cloud, software as a service, and work-from-anywhere policies—they struggle with ensuring application performance and security. Legacy architectures no longer meet performance or security demands.
Our approach
Our SASE solution converges networking and security service edge (SSE) into a single-service, cloud-native, and globally distributed architecture that shifts the security focus from traffic-flow centric to identity centric.
The benefits
Simplifies your IT infrastructure; reduces cost and complexity, advances your threat prevention; protects data; and connects employees, contractors, and partners to the cloud cost-effectively, securely, and with optimized application performance.
