That is the innovation of SASE. When Gartner defined the market for the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) last year, we had already seen all its networking and security functions on the market. It created a platform that could be used for unlimited applications. Convergence. We already had firewalls and UTMs.

Its impractical to centralize a network around an on-premise datacenter when data and applications increasingly are in the cloud and users are wherever they need to beon the road, at home, at a customer site, in a branch office. Theyve dubbed this converged architecture SASE, or secure access service edge.
