One of these new innovations technologies is SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). What is SASE? SASE is an enterprise networking and security category that converges network and security technologies into a single, cloud-native service. SASE can connect any network: the internet, MPLS, cellular networks and more.

When those teams are in lockstep and ready to change, SASE adoption is the logical evolution. SSE is the half of secure access service edge (SASE) focusing on the convergence of security services; networking convergence forms the other half of SASE.

At Cato Networks, we also feel the need for speed, and while were not breaking the sound barrier at 30,000 feet, we did just break the SASE speed barrier (again!). Earlier last month, we announced that Cato reached a new SASE throughput record , achieving 5 Gbps on a single encrypted tunnel with all security inspections fully enabled.

The burden of managing a growing number of endpoints, networks, and cloud servicescombined with constant threats of cyberattackscan lead to IT burnout. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solves many of these challenges. SASE platforms offer automated patch management and security updates as part of their cloud-native design.

Migration of applications to the cloud had been going on for a decade, offloading complex datacenter operations away from IT, and in that way increasing business resiliency and agility. However, the migration of other pillars of IT infrastructure, such as networking and security, to the cloud is a newer trend.

The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a unique innovation. This is the fundamental promise of SASE. However, SASE is extremely difficult for vendors that start from a pile of point solutions built for on-premises deployment. A true SASE architecture is single pass. For example, traffic processing.
