SASE = SD-WAN + SSE. This simple equation has become a staple of SASE marketing and thought leadership. It identifies two elements that underpin SASE , namely the network access technology ( SD-WAN ) and secure internet access ( Security Service Edge (SSE) ). The problem with this equation is that it is simply wrong.

In short, this requires SASE. However, replacing a traditional architecture in favor of a SASE cloud architecture to meet these demands can introduce heart-stopping uncertainty in even the most forward-thinking CxOs. Most CxOs understand what SASE delivers; some can even envision their SASE deployment.
