Of late, theres talk about using multiple vendors to deliver a SASE solution. But is that what SASE is all about? As the article points out, Gartner analysts defined SASE as a single, vendor cloud-native platform. The keyword in the original description of SASE is converges. Secure access services need to be everywhere.

Customer experience isnt just an important aspect of the SASE market, it is its essence. SASE isnt about groundbreaking features. But with SASE, more features arent necessarily better if they cant be deployed, managed, scaled, optimized, or used globally in a seamless way. Cato delivers the true SASE experience.

Understanding the 2021 Strategic Roadmap for SASE Convergence In July 2019, Gartner coined the term Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to define the next generation of network security technology. SASE solutions acknowledge that modern networks and security challenges are very different from the past.

Double Extortion: Double extortion ransomware both steals and encrypts sensitive and valuable data on an infected system. Lateral Movement: Ransomware rarely immediately lands on a device containing the high-value data that it plans to encrypt. This model increased the number of companies infected with high-quality ransomware.
