Why is SASE Necessary?
As enterprise networks increasingly rely on cloud-based applications to drive their operations and accommodate distributed workflows for remote and mobile users, the traditional boundaries of the enterprise network are expanding at a rapid pace. This poses a significant challenge for infrastructure leaders tasked with securing and managing an ever-expanding attack surface.
While network infrastructure has evolved to support the demands of remote endpoints, many security tools have failed to keep pace with this transformation. This renders VPN-only solutions obsolete in the face of evolving security threats and sophisticated attack vectors.
To maintain competitiveness in today’s landscape, organizations must ensure that all endpoints, regardless of their location, are secured and managed according to consistent security and networking policies. This entails extending the same level of security measures and controls to remote endpoints as those employed within on-premises infrastructure.
