Cybersecurity and the need for advanced network security are evolving at a rapid rate. With companies like Cyberhill making strides in software implementation, some businesses might be wondering how they can implement dedicated security measures into their digital mainframes. SASE makes this possible.
What is SASE?
SASE, otherwise known as security access service edge, is an enterprise networking and security category introduced by Gartner. It converges a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), a cloud network, and security service edge (SSE) functions into a unified, cloud-native service that helps enterprises eliminate the efforts and costs required to maintain complex and fragmented infrastructure made of point solutions, reduce the risk for breach and data loss, as well as enable secure access from anywhere and improve access to global applications both on business premises and the cloud. It is estimated that end-user SASE spending was expected to reach over $9 billion in 2023, a monumental 39% increase from 2022.

Adopting SASE can change an organization for the better. Because it operates on a single cloud-based network, SASE works to deliver consistent security and optimization to any enterprise edge. It is built on an extensive cloud network to provide low-latency networking and security capabilities to all users and business locations.
SASE's architecture not only leverages key cloud capabilities but also implements a single-pass engine that allows for multiple network and security objectives in parallel, delivering flexibility with minimal latency and resource requirements. Additionally, its global availability and simple management means that an IT department is relieved of maintenance tasks, which allows them to focus their efforts on evolving business challenges.
Components of SASE Architecture
A multitenant cloud-native approach enables those who use SASE to service at any edgepoint, concluding the mobile workforce without sacrificing performance or security. Its global network backbone also consists of 99.999% uptime SLA, which delivers the reliability that appliances alone cannot. With the use of SD-WAN and other features such as NGFW, IPS, CASB, DLP, and SWG, the entire network and security infrastructure is delivered as a single cloud-native platform, which allows for a more straightforward management process and makes managing the systems in a way that leaves IT free to focus on core business functionalities rather than infrastructure maintenance.
Implementation Considerations
For SASE to be implemented properly, you must define the project's business goals, such as what problems need solutions and what benefits your organization hopes to gain. These questions can help you work to develop plans and can allow staff members to implement and manage a SASE deployment.
Choosing the right SASE vendor and solution process is also necessary, as is tagging and testing the SASE deployment. Even the most meticulously planned deployment options can run awry, which is why companies should have support staff ready to handle user complaints and technical staff to help troubleshoot configuration and deployment errors.
The Future of SASE
Digital transformations such as WAN mandates do not happen overnight. Given that they are comprised of multiple projects, including SD-WAN, internet security, cloud migration, mobile access, and more, you want to ask yourself if the right decision is choosing a solution that addresses your current project needs and those of future projects.
A well-managed SASE can bring your business into the future with low latency and reliable and secure connection in the cloud, allowing users worldwide to connect with consistent experiences within the cloud service and offering IT more control over their security measures.
By utilizing this advanced technology, a business can address the challenges posed by the changing digital landscape and provide a cost-effective way for business owners and their IT departments to safeguard their businesses.
