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.

For all of its talk, SASE as understood by much of the industry, will not completely replace a global MPLS network; the Internet is simply too unpredictable for that. Only by converging SASE with NaaS can companies eliminate costly, legacy MPLS services. Its why SASE has emerged to be such a dominant force.

Theyve dubbed this converged architecture SASE, or secure access service edge. SASE moves security out of the legacy datacenter and closer to where users, data and applications reside today. With Catos SASE platform, branches send data along encrypted tunnels across Internet last miles to the nearest PoP.

Other choices include appliance-based SD-WAN and SASE. With a VPN, all communication between the user and the VPN is encrypted. The encryption process takes time, and depending on the type of encryption used, this may add noticeable latency to Internet communications. VPNs are certainly one option, but not the only one.

Encrypt Data, Not Just the Tunnel Most remote access solutions create an encrypted point-to-point tunnel to carry the communications payload. The data payload itself must also be encrypted for strong security. While the tunnel itself is encrypted, the traffic traveling within that tunnel typically is not.
