SASE Platforms

SASE platforms converge networking and security functions into a single cloud-delivered service, combining SD-WAN, firewall-as-a-service, secure web gateway, CASB, and zero trust access into one platform. They are designed for enterprises with distributed workforces and multi-cloud environments that want to consolidate point security products into a unified architecture. Assess the platform's global point-of-presence coverage for latency, the maturity of each individual security function within the bundle, and whether you can deploy incrementally rather than requiring a full rip-and-replace of your existing security stack.
